Going Pre-Live / Live

As outlined in the article "Working with Cert & Prod" - HSP distinguishes between two separate environments: Certification (Cert) and Production (Prod).

To successfully carry out the Proof of Concept (POC), HSP provides the Certification (testing) environment. Here, you can integrate with the API, conduct testing, and make bookings without any concerns about initiating live bookings.

Once the POC is fully prepared, and all necessary steps are completed, you can proceed to transition to the Production (Live) environment to go live.
