Going live

# Before collecting real money

Use this list when enabling a business or switching from Test to Live. A local test or a screen that opens without errors does not confirm acquirer enablement or the fiscal authorization to invoice in Live mode.

## Setup and credentials

- [ ] You enabled only what you need: Collect, Invoicing, or both.
- [ ] You configured each mode separately. Test keys are not used in Live mode.
- [ ] API keys, webhook secrets, and certificates stay on the server.
- [ ] For Checkout, your merchant account is connected Live in Portal Timbro: Azul accepted your live credentials, or the Timbro team connected your CardNet or Portal merchant account.
- [ ] To issue e-CF in Live mode, you completed fiscal setup and confirmed the authorization that applies to the issuer.

## Payments

- [ ] A test payment completed, and your server retrieved the same `Payment`. You mark the order paid only when its status is `succeeded`.
- [ ] You check the reference, currency, and amount before applying the payment to the order.
- [ ] If a response is lost, you retry with the same `paymentReference` and data, then retrieve the same payment.
- [ ] Your team knows how to handle `verifying`: wait and recover the same payment without starting another payment.

## Invoices and notifications

- [ ] If you issue e-CF, you completed a test issuance and retrieved the same invoice by `invoiceId` or `invoiceReference`.
- [ ] Your system retrieves the invoice separately from the payment. `Payment.status: "succeeded"` does not confirm fiscal acceptance or XML/PDF readiness.
- [ ] You wait for each file’s status to become `ready` before downloading it.
- [ ] Your webhook receiver verifies the signature, deduplicates by `event.id`, and retrieves the Payment or Invoice identified by `event.data.id`.
- [ ] Your team knows how to escalate an Invoice that requires intervention (`operatorRequired`).
- [ ] If your system sends invoices from a queue, it looks up the `invoiceReference` before issuing again, so the same sale is never issued twice.
- [ ] Only one system emails the invoice to the buyer: Timbro or your system.
- [ ] Before offering an e-CF type in Live mode, you check in `GET /v1/business` that it is `ready`.

## Support

- [ ] You retain the IDs, mode, `Request-Id`, and error codes needed to investigate a failure.
- [ ] You do not log keys, tokens, card data, full XML/PDF files, or private links.
- [ ] Someone reviews payments with an unconfirmed result and invoices that require intervention.
