Live Testing and Launch
Pre-Launch Testing
After completing the integration, we recommend you test and validate your product to ensure it works as expected.
Testing Requirements:
- Real bank accounts and individuals with local authorization methods (BankID, MitID, etc.)
- End-to-end live tests with at least 3 different bank groups in your target country
- Complete payment flows from initiation to completion
Launch Coordination
Before going live:
- Complete comprehensive testing across multiple bank groups
- Schedule a sync with your Neonomics Customer Success team contact
- Review the complete flow together
- Notify the team of your planned launch date
Mobile App Implementation
Best Practice: For the optimal user experience in mobile apps, redirect users to a dedicated browser rather than using an in-app browser.
