# Launch

When you’ve passed your internal QA testing, you’re ready for Afterpay Certification. Contact your Afterpay account manager to schedule Certification testing.

Testing is performed on each unique environment you’ll have in production. The test suite includes three areas:

1. Integration Standards
2. Customer Experience
3. Refunds

Certification ensures a great customer experience, minimizes the potential for fraudulent activity, and checks for common compliance and technical issues.

> **Production Credentials**
>
> Your Afterpay production credentials are issued upon successful completion of the Afterpay Certification.

## Deployment

When moving to your production environment, ensure:

1. [The Javascript URL](/afterpay-button-documentation/guides/afterpay-button/getting-started/add-the-button) is being loaded for Afterpay's production environment.
2. You are using your production merchant public key.
3. If you are using the [Update Merchant Reference API call](/afterpay-button-documentation/guides/afterpay-button/getting-started/order-management), ensure the production endpoint is used.
