# Going Live with your integration

Having followed our guides and built and tested your integration, check out our [best practices guide](/docs/partner-integrations/integration-guide) — it'll take you through everything you need to build a great integration for your users, and is perfect to review before you go live.

## Go-live checklist

Before going live, a member of our GoCardless team will need to review your integration with a demonstration video. Your demo should provide a full walkthrough of the following key elements, using an additional sandbox account as if you were one of our mutual customers:

  
### 1. OAuth

Including sign-in view, sign-up view, pre-filling capabilities, account connection, and clear verification or pending status.

    - [ ] Sign-in view
    - [ ] Sign-up view
    - [ ] Are you pre-filling merchant details?
    - [ ] Are you displaying whether the account is connected?
    - [ ] Are you displaying the GoCardless account status?

  
### 2. Mandates

Demonstrate either hosted payment pages or custom pages (which will require compliance review) and pre-filling of customer and bank details.

    - [ ] If you're using custom payment pages, submit these for compliance review.
    - [ ] Are you pre-filling the customer details in the mandate?
    - [ ] Are you pre-filling the customer bank details in the mandate?

  
### 3. Payments

Show usage of Payments, Subscriptions, and Instalments endpoints, including Open Banking and combined Open Banking/Direct Debit functionalities, and outbound payments.

    - [ ] Tell us which of the following endpoints you have implemented:
      - [Payments](/docs/api-reference/payment)
      - [Subscriptions](/docs/api-reference/subscription)
      - [Instalments](/docs/api-reference/instalment-schedule)
    - [ ] Have you implemented Open Banking?
    - [ ] Have you combined Open Banking and Direct Debit?
    - [ ] Have you built [Success+](/docs/optimise/reduced-failed-payments-with-success-plus)?
    - [ ] Have you built [Protect+](/docs/optimise/prevent-fraud-with-protect-plus)?
    - [ ] Have you integrated [Outbound Payments](/docs/partner-integrations/sending-money)?

  
### 4. Refunds

Exhibit implemented refund capabilities. To enable refunds in sandbox, provide the partnerships team with the email address you used to create the account.

    - [ ] Have you implemented refund capabilities?

  
### 5. Reconciliation

Display how current mandate and payment statuses are shown, and confirm that payments are marked as confirmed upon receiving the `payment_confirmed` event.

    - [ ] Where do you display the current mandate status?
    - [ ] Where do you display the current payment status?
    - [ ] Do you mark payments as confirmed upon receiving the `payment_confirmed` event?

## Submit your app for review

Once you've fully tested your integration in the sandbox and recorded the demonstration video, a member of the GoCardless team will review it before you can start connecting merchants in the live environment.

Make sure you have the following ready:

- [ ] [Set up your live account](https://manage.gocardless.com/signup)
- [ ] [Created your live app](https://manage.gocardless.com/developers/partners/apps/create)
- [ ] Recorded your demonstration video
- [ ] Written a user guide explaining how your integration works, with the URL ready to share
- [ ] A high-resolution logo so we can list you as [one of our partners](https://gocardless.com/partners)

Send everything to [partnerships@gocardless.com](mailto:partnerships@gocardless.com) or your account manager. We'll aim to get back to you within 5 working days.

To drive usage once you're live:

- Develop a landing page with the key benefits of your GoCardless integration.
- Write a user guide and include GoCardless in your FAQs and support materials.
- Point users to it in welcome emails and regular communications.

## Earning money from your integration

GoCardless offers a 10% revenue share of the transaction fees generated by your integration. For every transaction your users take through your integration, you'll receive a 10% share of the fees GoCardless collects.

> **Warning:**
> If you have chosen to apply app fees to your integration, you cannot also receive a revenue share.

For more information or to set up a revenue share, contact the [partnerships team](https://gocardless.com/contact-sales/?s=partners).
