Going live
Production unlocks once your business is verified and on a plan. Your code doesn’t change: you only swap the key.
-
Verify your business
In the dashboard, open Account → Verification and submit:
- your registered business name, type and registration number (e.g. CAC RC or BN number)
- your registered address and a compliance email
- your director’s name and ID type
- a certificate of incorporation and the director’s ID (PDF, JPG or PNG, up to 10MB)
- optionally, a recent proof of address
Documents are stored privately and only viewed by the Brrndops compliance team. Review usually takes 1–2 business days. If something needs fixing, you’ll see the reviewer’s note and can resubmit.
-
Choose a plan
Production requests count toward your plan’s included usage. During the beta, plans are set up by the Brrndops team. Contact support.
-
Create a production key
Switch the dashboard to Production and create a key under Developers → API keys. You’ll be asked for your password. Store the key in your production secrets.
