Going to Production

This guide will help you prepare your WEpayments integration for production. Follow this checklist to ensure a smooth launch.

​
Pre-Launch Checklist

​
1. Testing & Validation

  • All API endpoints tested in Dev Mode
  • Success scenarios verified
  • Error handling tested
  • Edge cases covered
  • Payment flows work end-to-end
  • Webhooks registered and tested
  • Signature verification implemented
  • Retry logic in place
  • Idempotency handling configured
  • All event types handled
  • API keys stored securely
  • HTTPS enabled on all endpoints
  • Input validation implemented
  • Rate limiting configured
  • Security headers set
  • All error codes handled
  • User-friendly error messages
  • Logging implemented
  • Monitoring set up
  • Alerting configured

​
2. Account Configuration

1

Verify Business Information

Ensure all business details are accurate in your dashboard
2

Configure Transfer Accounts

Set up another bank account with the same ownership for transfer funds
3

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

After receiving access to the production panel, you must activate 2FA for enhanced security. Learn how to enable 2FA

​
3. API Keys & Credentials

Critical: Never expose your production API keys in client-side code or public repositories.
// ✅ Good - Using environment variables
const apiKey = process.env.WEPAYMENTS_API_KEY;

// ❌ Bad - Hardcoded key
const apiKey = 'live_sk_1234567890abcdef';
Production API Keys Checklist:
  • Generate production API keys
  • Store keys in secure environment variables
  • Remove all test keys from production code
  • Implement key rotation policy
  • Restrict API key permissions
  • Configure allowed IPs for API requests
Important: After accessing the production panel, configure the allowed IPs that can make API requests. This adds an extra layer of security to your integration. Learn how to configure allowed IPs
