• A valid US cell phone number (you do not need access to this number) that you will use in all subsequent checkout attempts
• A birth date:
  a. Use the date: 12/01/1981 to trigger an Affirm decline and handoff to Katapult pre-approval.
  b. Another other birthdate above the age of 18 will trigger an Affirm approval
• Social security : Any four digits

Important

• To successfully test Katapult flow in Affirm's sandbox environment, enter a new identity (name, phone number, address, etc.) every time you go through the checkout flow.
• If you get declined once, you may continue to get Katapult declined due to browser cookie caching. We recommend clearing your browser cookies / cache (or use Incognito browser window) before each test.

Coordinate testing with Affirm

Before deploying the Affirm integration to your production site, Affirm will need to test it in your development or staging environment connected to our live environment. Contact your Integration Consultant or [email protected] to coordinate this test.

Connect to the live Affirm environment

1. Retrieve your live API keys at https://affirm.com/dashboard/#/apikeys
2. Sign in to your Shopify account and click the Settings (gear) icon at the bottom-left of the screen.
3. Click Payments
4. In the Alternative Payments section, find Using: Affirm and click Edit
5. Uncheck the Use test mode checkbox
6. Enter the Public API Key and Private API Key you retrieved from the Affirm merchant dashboard
7. Click Save
8. In the Affirm promotional messaging, update the Affirm.js code to use the live public API key you just received for public_api_key and <https://cdn1.affirm.com/js/v2/affirm.js> for script

Launch to production

After you've connected to our live environment and we've tested your integration, you're ready to deploy to your production environment and offer Affirm as a payment option to your customers.
