Production works from day one: create a live key, set up webhooks, virtual accounts, payment links, and collect funds. The one thing that needs production access is sending payouts — real money leaving your balance. Access is enabled per organization: when your sandbox integration is solid, email api-support@chippercash.com with your organization name and a short description of what you’re building — we’ll enable payouts and confirm the rails and corridors available to you. Until then, POST /v1/payouts on production returns 403 forbidden. Moving over:
  1. Create a live key in the dashboard (Developers → API keys, environment Live). Give it the narrowest scopes that do the job, an IP allowlist if it runs from fixed infrastructure, and spend caps if anything automated holds it.
  2. Switch the base URL to https://chipper-platform-api.onrender.com and the key to sk_live_…. Nothing else changes.
  3. Point your webhook endpoints at production and re-verify with a test event — signing secrets differ per environment.
  4. Read the production capabilities catalog (GET /v1/capabilities) at runtime rather than assuming the sandbox one: the live rails, limits, and settlement times differ.
  5. Fund your balance via Add funds in the dashboard (bank transfer or crypto deposit) before sending payouts.
Fees, limits, and per-corridor requirements are set on your organization — they’re visible in the dashboard and returned on each transaction. Questions: api-support@chippercash.com.
