Pre-launch checklist (18 items)

TLDR: before enabling checkout in production, tick the 18 items below. The checklist follows a logical order: account → branding → payments → store integration → marketing → smoke test → launch.

Account & domain

• 1. Email verified — the reminder banner disappears when you click the link we sent you. Verification does NOT block dashboard usage but is required for password reset and notifications.
• 2. Strong password saved in a password manager (1Password, Bitwarden).
• 3. Final slug chosen — the {yourslug}.wooshpayment.com subdomain is permanent. Changing it requires support.
• 4. (Optional) Custom domain mapped — checkout.yourstore.com with fixed checkout. prefix. Available to all merchants without plan gating. See Custom domain.

Branding

• 5. Logo uploaded — PNG/SVG with transparent background, max 200KB, recommended 200×200 (square) or 600×200 (horizontal).
• 6. Brand color in hex format (e.g. #FF6B35). Minimum 4.5:1 contrast with white — use contrastchecker.com.
• 7. Favicon uploaded (32×32 PNG).
• 8. Font chosen from the dropdown in the Brand panel.

Payments

• 9. Whop connected with Owner role. See Whop setup. Without Whop you can only accept Cash on Delivery.
• 10. Apple Pay verified — check in the Whop dashboard that the {slug}.wooshpayment.com domain (or checkout.yourstore.com if active) is among the registered domains. See Apple Pay setup.
• 11. (Optional) Cash on Delivery (COD) active — useful in IT/ES/RO/PL. See Cash on Delivery.

Store integration

• 12. Shopify/WooCommerce connected — see Shopify integration or WooCommerce integration.
• 13. ScriptTag verified — on Shopify it is installed automatically at the OAuth callback, no copy/paste. Open your store, click "Checkout" and verify that it redirects to your WooshPayment subdomain. If it doesn't redirect, see Script tag debug.
• 14. Shipping configured both in WooshPayment and in the Shopify/Woo panel. Without rates the checkout shows "No method available".
• 15. Taxes/VAT verified in your store backend for your country.

Marketing & analytics

• 16. Pixels active if you use them — GA4, GTM, Meta Pixel, TikTok. See Marketing pixels. Test the Purchase event with a pilot order.

Final smoke test

• 17. Real pilot order for €0.50 or the minimum amount allowed by Whop. Buy from your store, pay with your own card, verify:
  • Order created in Shopify/Woo with status paid
  • Session marked COMPLETED in WooshPayment → Orders
  • Merchant notification received (also check Spam the first time)
  • Pixel events fired (Meta Events Manager, TikTok Events, GA4 DebugView)
• 18. Real iPhone mobile test (not simulator). Apple Pay opens, iCloud autofill works, no field hidden by the keyboard. 70% of checkout traffic is mobile.

After launch

1. Dashboard → Orders every day for the first week
2. Dashboard → Integrations → verify that Whop stays "Connected" and ScriptTag active
3. Refund: for now refunds are issued from the Whop dashboard. See Refund flow for the correct procedure that keeps state in sync.

Happy launch.
