Going from Test to Live
4 Going from Test to Live
After you have successfully tested your connection to the Adyen Payment Service on our
TEST platform you can GO LIVE and process real transactions. To ensure the connection
and the system has been correctly tested, these requirements have to be completed:
Requirements
1. A Skin has been created (See Skin Manual).
2. Perform TEST transactions with the different payment methods you would like to
offer your customers. These tests should be initiated from your web-shop to our
TEST platform (See Integration Manual).
3. All these Modifications have been tested (See Integration Manual):
◦ Cancellations
◦ Captures (manually inclusive)
◦ Refunds (partial amount and complete amount)
◦ A subscription to a daily report has been enabled and reconciled. For
example: Payment Accounting Report
4. Successful testing of notification for each of the following event codes (See
Integration Manual):
◦ AUTHORISATION
◦ CANCELLATION
◦ REPORT_AVAILABLE
◦ CAPTURE
◦ REFUND
Recommendations
Below are some recommendations that we would like you to keep in mind, to ensure a
better experience using our services:
1. The country code parameter is being sent in your payment requests. It forces
showing payment methods for the related country, instead of detecting the country
from the shopper's IP.
2. The merchant reference is controlled on your side, avoiding re-using the same one
for several payments.
3. System messages have been configured for any user.
