# Going live

> From sandbox to real money.

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**](mailto: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://api.platform.chipper.ai` 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](mailto:api-support@chippercash.com).
