Certification

All partners must pass Cresora certification before receiving csk_live_ keys and going to production. Certification validates that your integration handles payments, errors, and edge cases correctly.

Certification process

1. Sandbox integration — complete the full Getting Started flow
2. Certification scenarios — run through the required test scenarios
3. Self-certification checklist — complete the technical and compliance checklist
4. Cresora review — submit your checklist; Cresora reviews and issues live keys within 2 business days

What certification covers

• Card authorization, capture, void, and refund flows
• ACH payment and return handling
• Webhook delivery, signature verification, and idempotent retry handling
• Error handling for declined and invalid payments
• PCI scope documentation (SAQ type appropriate to your integration)
• 3DS2 flows (if applicable)

Timeline

Certification typically takes 1–3 business days once your sandbox integration is complete. The Cresora team will reach out if they need clarification on any test evidence.
