# Go-Live Checklist

Verify these before switching from sandbox to production. This is the gate between testing and real registrations.

## Authentication

Production API key generated and stored securely (environment variable, secrets manager - never in code).

> Base URL set to [**https://namify.host/api/v1**](https://namify.host/api/v1).

401 & other error handling tested and user-facing messaging in place.

## Integration

* Customer creation flow tested. Every domain registration is tied to a `customer_id.`
* Domain search, availability check, and registration flow tested end-to-end.
* Renewal flow tested (manual and/or auto-renew, depending on your tier).

## Webhooks

* Webhook endpoint deployed and reachable over HTTPS.
* Signature verification implemented and tested.
* Key events handled: `domain.registered`, `domain.renewed`, `domain.expired`, `domain.auto_renew_failed`.
* Idempotent event processing in place (duplicate webhook delivery handled).

## Error handling

4xx errors surfaced to users with clear messaging (domain unavailable, invalid input, payment failed).

Rate limit (429) handling with Retry-After header.

## Operations

* Logging: request\_id from every API response stored for debugging.
* Monitoring: alerts on elevated error rates, failed webhooks, and failed renewals.
* Support escalation path defined (your support team > Namify partner support).

  **Tip:** Run through this checklist with your team before enabling production keys. It saves a lot of post-launch fire drills. You can also consult with us to help you through the journey.
