Is a Payment Gateway Required to Move into Production Mode?

Yes, a payment gateway is required to move into production mode if you plan to accept credit card payments and run transactions through Recurly.

However, if you are planning to utilize Recurly to manage your subscriptions using manual invoicing only, you can move into production mode without configuring a payment gateway. The process requires a few steps:

1. Subscribe to a Recurly Plan: You will first need to subscribe, at minimum, to a Custom plan.

2. Contact Support: Once you have a plan, please reach out to our support team. We are more than happy to assist you in completing this process, as it will require additional setup steps from our end to ensure your site is correctly configured for manual invoicing in production.
