Go Live in Production

Step 8: Go Live in Production

1. Complete KYB Verification

Submit KYB documents through the Apara dashboard. Typical approval time: 3–4 business days.

2. Switch to Production Environment

Toggle to Production in the dashboard. Widget templates from Sandbox carry over, but re-configure currencies and crypto tokens in Production.

3. Add a Production Settlement Account

Add a live bank account or crypto wallet under Dashboard → Settlements.

4. Generate Production API Keys

Go to Dashboard → Settings and generate Production API keys (requires 2FA). These are separate from Sandbox keys.

5. Configure Production Webhooks

Set your Production webhook URL under Dashboard → Settings → Webhooks. Your webhook secret key is also different in Production.
