# Go-Live Checklist

> Follow the Cashfree Payouts go-live checklist to validate API keys, webhooks, signatures, and IP whitelisting before switching from test to production.

Use this checklist to ensure a smooth transition from TEST to LIVE environment.

Once you complete testing Cashfree's payouts integration in the TEST environment, you can follow the following steps to go-live:

1. **Use your production credentials**\
   Your TEST credentials vary from your PROD credentials. You can get your PROD credentials from your production dashboard.

2. **Use production host URL**\
   Please ensure that you change your endpoint to hit Cashfree's production server. Cashfree's production endpoint is [https://payout-api.cashfree.com](https://payout-api.cashfree.com).

3. **Whitelist your IP**\
   Your IP has to be whitelisted to communicate with Cashfree. Check how to [whitelist your static IP](/docs/payouts/payouts/integrations/payouts-2fa#ip-whitelist).

4. **Add production webhook endpoint**\
   Webhooks are server to server communications that Cashfree uses to communicate securely with you.

5. **Do not go-live without signature verification if you are using webhooks**\
   To ensure you are processing only Cashfree's webhook requests, verify the signature which you receive along with the data.
