Transition to production

Contact your MoonPay representative to obtain your production API keys. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to go through a review process to ensure that your integration adheres to our Integration Best Practices guide.

Upon activation, you have the flexibility to switch between sandbox (test) and production (live) keys via the Developers page of your MoonPay dashboard. This switch affects only the dashboard data display and does not influence your actual integration.

After you’ve moved to our production environment and are getting ready to launch publicly, we recommend you follow this guide to ensure a smooth transition.

To enable your production API keys, contact your MoonPay representative.

Update your environment to use our production widget with your production API keys:

  • If using our JavaScript SDKs, update your environment to use environment: production and your production API keys.

  • If using our iOS or Android SDKs, update your environment to use MoonPayWidgetEnvironment.production and your production API keys.

  • If generating widget URLs, update the base URL and use your production API keys: https://buy.moonpay.com?apiKey=[INSERT_PK_LIVE_KEY].

Before officially launching, it's advised to complete comprehensive end-to-end testing within your production environment. This step is crucial as certain issues may only become apparent upon moving to production.

❗️Do not use test credit card or test KYC information in production, as this will result in your account being blocked. Only genuine card and KYC information may be used in production.

  • Ensure that the full end-to-end flows are simple and intuitive to use

  • Ensure that quotes and min / max buy and sell amounts are fetched correctly using our APIs, if applicable (Get a quote, get currency limits)

  • Ensure that transaction history and balances are correctly reflected in your app, if applicable (Get transactions, set up webhooks)

  • If possible, have users in different regions test the user experience
