Go live

Your Test integration runs against Live with the key and network ids changed. What takes longer is the review, and setting up the parts of Live that are deliberately not copied from Test. See Test and Live for what carries over.

1. Apply. Someone who manages your organisation opens Go live in the Test console and provides your certificate of incorporation, registered address, directors and authorised signatories, beneficial owners, and what you will use Sotirea for. Sotirea may ask for one thing more by email; answer it in the console.

2. Once approved, switch to Live in the console. Your roles, people, organisation-wide payment rule and approved addresses are there already. Grants that move money or control access wait for a second person to confirm them again.

3. Create Live keys, starting sot_live_, and limit each to your servers’ addresses. Keep them apart from your Test keys.

4. Add Live webhooks, with their own secrets, and fund the Network fees for each Live network you use.

5. Approve the addresses you pay ahead of time: in Live a new address waits 24 hours after it is approved. Review your payment rules, for limits and approvals on real money.

6. Switch your configuration: the Live key, the Live webhook secret, and the network ids, from Sepolia eip155:11155111 to Ethereum eip155:1, from Base Sepolia eip155:84532 to Base eip155:8453, and token contracts to their Live ones.

7. Start small. Send a small payment and receive a small deposit end to end before real volume.
