Before moving to production, conduct User Acceptance Tests (UAT) to ensure a smooth transition:
- Catalog service displays all products.
- Topsort app lets you select existing products when creating a campaign or adding products to an existing one.
- Auctions and events trigger correctly.
- Auctions, impressions, clicks, and purchase events activate as expected.
- Create a "UAT-TEST" campaign with products and a high bid amount.
- Complete the steps with two unique users.
- Send screenshots to Topsort for event confirmation.
- Topsort's data analysis aligns with the testing timeframe.
- Topsort provides a summary of data received during testing.
- Verify that metrics match expectations (auctions, impressions, clicks, purchases, unique sessions).
After completing user acceptance tests, deploy to production with these 3 steps:
- Connect live catalog (share live catalog URL if using Catalog Services API).
- Obtain production credentials:
- For full platform launch, we create an account and provide marketplace admin credentials and production API URL. Generate your API key.
- For custom UI, we provide production API URL and API key.
- Replace sandbox credentials with production credentials and move integrations to production.
