Every organization has two separate environments, test and live. Your API key picks one: Passes belong to the environment they were issued in. A test key can’t read or change live passes, and a live key can’t touch test passes. Templates and assets are shared by both environments.

​
Test mode

Test passes are signed with TapAce’s demo certificate and demo Google issuer. You can add them to a real phone and try the whole flow before you have Apple or Google credentials.

​
Going live

Live passes must be signed with your organization’s own credentials:
  1. Add your Apple certificate and connect your Google Wallet issuer in the dashboard under Settings → Certificates.
  2. Open each template’s Settings tab and choose the live certificate and issuer it signs with.
  3. Create a live key under Developers → API keys and use it in production.
Issuing a live pass from a template with no live certificate or issuer returns a 422 error that says what to choose.
