Go-Live Checklist
Use this checklist after completing the relevant pack or packs.
- Confirm the correct base pack was selected
- Confirm all required
3DSscenarios were executed - Confirm every
Criticalscenario has evidence - Confirm duplicate-prevention behaviour was tested
- Confirm negative auth outcomes were tested where relevant
- Confirm the evidence bundle contains the correct identifiers and timestamps
- Confirm any remaining
Importantfailures are explicitly documented as risks - Confirm manual-only checks were completed for hosted form or challenge behaviour
Capture the path-appropriate minimum evidence:
| Path | Evidence |
|---|---|
Paylink | paylink_token, trans_no where available, timestamp |
Elements | payment_intent_id, trans_no, timestamp |
API / server-led | context_id, trans_no, identifier, timestamp |
For stored credential or MIT paths, add:
- agreement reference
- original setup reference
- card holder account reference where applicable
Use the readiness model consistently:
| Status | Interpretation |
|---|---|
Ready | Critical scenarios passed and evidence is complete |
Ready with risks | Critical scenarios passed, but important weaknesses remain |
Not ready | A critical scenario failed, was omitted, or cannot be evidenced |
Do not use percentage scores. Record failed critical scenarios, failed important scenarios, and the specific risk themes instead.
