Hey, how can I switch payments from test mode to live? I have all the API keys needed and I already turned the ‘test mode’ switch off in the Stripe. Could it be because my app is not live yet and it would change automatically? Thanks. ---

You need to make sure you have your live API key in the plugin settings / API call headers, then deploy live and use the live version. > [@rainskiv](#): > > I already turned the ‘test mode’ switch off This is just for your browser session. ---

Oh so I need to deploy to live to have the payments also in the live mode? Then it happens automatically; in the preview it uses ‘test mode’ and ‘live mode’ in the publicized version, is that correct? ---

Okay thank you. But I have 2 issues that prevent me for going live, do you by any chance have an idea how to solve them? 1 - ‘Your app needs its own geocode api’ but I don’t need google maps for my app so why can’t I just leave it empty? 2 - ‘Go to page; fill out the data you are sending’ but I just want to navigate and don’t need to send any data. Thanks!
