Going live
You've been testing with rzp_test_… keys and everything works — now you're ready to take real money. Going live with Razorpay in AcelleMail is a key swap, not a mode toggle: the environment switches with the key prefix, so there's no separate sandbox checkbox to flip. This page walks you through the cutover.
1. Confirm the test flow first
Before switching, make sure the full flow works with your rzp_test_… keys: a one-time payment through the Razorpay gateway, and — if you sell recurring plans — a subscription through the Razorpay Subscription gateway with a mapped plan. Fix any issues while you're still in test.
2. Swap in your live keys
Open Admin → Plugins → Razorpay → Settings and replace your test credentials with your production pair:
- API Key ID — your
rzp_live_…Key ID - API Key Secret — the matching live Key Secret
The prefix is the switch
As soon as the Key ID starts with rzp_live_, the plugin talks to Razorpay's live environment. There's nothing else to enable.
3. Set the production webhook
In the Razorpay Dashboard → Webhooks, set the production Webhook Secret and confirm the webhook URL points at your live site:
https://YOUR_DOMAIN/cashier/razorpay/webhooksThen paste that same Webhook Secret into Webhook Secret in Plugin Settings so live events verify. See Configure webhooks for the events to enable.
4. Re-save Settings
Click Save Settings so the live keys and webhook secret take effect and the license re-checks.
5. Run a small live payment
Make one real, low-value payment through the Razorpay gateway to confirm the end-to-end flow — checkout, capture, and the webhook landing back in AcelleMail. Once that clears, you're live.
Live means real money
A rzp_live_… payment is a genuine charge. Use a small amount for the smoke test and refund it from your Razorpay Dashboard if needed.
