\# Go to production Once the configuration and testing process is completed, your implementation will be ready to receive real payments in production. Below, you'll see the necessary requirements to perform this transition effectively and securely, ensuring that your implementation is prepared to receive real transactions. ## 1\. Activate production credentials To start operating in the productive environment of your store, you'll need to activate and obtain your :toolTipComponent\[production credentials\]{link="/developers/en/docs/vtex/resources/credentials" linkText="Credentials" content="unique set of access keys linked to your application that allow receiving real payments. For more information, access the link below."}, to replace those used in the development stage. Follow the steps below to perform this process correctly. 1\. Go to \[Your integrations\](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/panel/app) and select the application you created in the \[Create application\](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/en/docs/vtex/create-application) stage. 2\. Go to the \*\*Production credentials\*\* section in the left sidebar menu. 3\. In the \*\*Industry\*\* field, select from the dropdown menu the industry or sector to which the business you're integrating belongs. 4\. In the \*\*Website (required)\*\* field, complete with the URL of your business website. 5\. Accept the \[Privacy Statement\](https://www.mercadopago\[FAKER\[URL\]\[DOMAIN\]/privacidad) and the \[Terms and conditions\](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/en/docs/resources/legal/terms-and-conditions). Complete the reCAPTCHA and click \*\*Activate production credentials\*\*. ## 2\. Place production credentials in the store To go to production, you'll need to place the production credentials of your Mercado Pago application in the VTEX store. To do this, go to \[Your integrations\](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/panel/app), go to the \*\*Production > Production credentials\*\* section in the sidebar menu. There you'll find your productive \*\*Public Key\*\* and \*\*Access Token\*\*, which you should use instead of those from the test account. Then, access the VTEX platform administration panel and follow these steps. 1\. Go to \*\*Store Settings > Payment > Providers\*\*. 2\. In the providers list, select \*\*MercadoPagoV2\*\*. 3\. In the "Details" section, click the \*\*Edit\*\* button. 4\. In the \*\*Provider authorization\*\* section, replace the previously entered data as appropriate: | Field | Description | |---|---| | Application Key | This field refers to the \_Public Key\_ of the Mercado Pago application. Remove the \_Public Key\_ from the test account and replace it with your :toolTipComponent\[productive Public Key\]{content="Public key that is used in the frontend to access information and encrypt data when receiving real payments. You can access it through \*Your integrations > Application details > Production > Production credentials\*."}. | | Application Token | This field refers to the \_Access Token\_ of the Mercado Pago application. Remove the \_Access Token\_ from the test account and replace it with your :toolTipComponent\[productive Access Token\]{content="Private key of the application created in Mercado Pago, which is used in the backend when receiving real payments. You can access it through \*Your integrations > Application details > Production > Production credentials\*."}. | > WARNING > > Remember that credentials \*\*should only be shared securely and within the Mercado Pago environment\*\*. Go to \[Credentials > Share credentials\](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/en/docs/vtex/resources/credentials) to learn how to do this. Having completed these steps, the VTEX store is ready to receive real payments with Mercado Pago.
