Pre-Launch Checklist

  • Test mode orders completed successfully
  • Webhooks working (check logs)
  • All products have Variant IDs mapped
  • SSL certificate valid
  • Refund testing successful
  • Checkout mode chosen (overlay or redirect)
  • License keys appearing on orders (if applicable)

Disable Test Mode

  1. Go to plugin settings
  2. Uncheck “Enable Test Mode”
  3. Replace the API key with one made while Lemon Squeezy is in live mode
  4. Save changes
  5. Go to WooCommerce → Lemon Squeezy, click “Test Connection”, then “Register Webhook on Lemon Squeezy” once

Important!

Lemon Squeezy keeps test mode and live mode apart, webhooks too. A webhook made in test mode never reports live payments, so register it again with the live key. In Lemon Squeezy, check Settings → Webhooks in live mode shows exactly one webhook for your site.

Final Test with Real Card

Monitor Initial Orders

  • Check order status after each sale
  • Verify webhooks firing correctly
