Transition to production
- Set up the production environment . When configuring the payment gateway instance, do not use the test mode unless you specifically intend to use the gateway simulator for processing payments in your production environment.
- Test transactions in production . It is recommended that you test all your use cases and integrations on the payment gateway using both your payment gateway's test and production (live) environments. Once you have completed testing in the gateway's test environment, perform a test in your live production environment with a real card or account. If there are any differences in the configuration of your testing and production accounts, testing in production ensures your production merchant account is set up properly and can successfully connect to the production environment.
If you are migrating between gateways, Zuora recommends a ‘warming up’ strategy, in which you start by moving smaller segments of your customer base to the new gateway and increasing traffic over time. This allows you to transition to the new gateway at your own pace while being able to fall back to your legacy gateway if needed.
