Testing

Go live

Submit your integration for review and launch to production

After testing in the sandbox, submit your integration for iwoca's review before accessing the production environment.

Submit for review

Before you get production access, iwoca checks that your customer journey meets lending obligations. This also catches pre-launch bugs.

1
Complete sandbox testing
Ensure you've run through all required test scenarios for your integration type. Submit test customers via the sandbox environment.
2
Prepare your demo
iwoca needs to see the full working customer journey, including:
- Happy path (successful application and offer).
- Common unhappy paths (decline, missing documents).
- Privacy notice visibility meets our compliance requirements.
- Correct offer display (if applicable).
This can be a recorded walkthrough, access to your sandbox flow, or a live call to walk through the journey.
3
Submit UI evidence
Share screenshots or a demo link showing:
- All forms used to collect customer data.
- How the integration looks within your platform.
- How different offer types are displayed (if applicable).
4
Verify backend integration
iwoca will verify that leads are sent correctly to our back-end:
- All minimum data requirements are met.
- Data is in the correct format.
- Company and applicant address fields are validated at the point of entry.
- Duplicate customers are handled appropriately.
This can be demonstrated with a recorded walkthrough of the journey – your iwoca Partnership Manager will check the corresponding customer and application in our system.
5
Receive production API token
Once approved, iwoca sends you your production API token via secure Gmail or PGP encryption – the same method used for your sandbox token.

Data validation is required. Before going live, company fields and applicants' home addresses must be validated at the point of capture. We recommend a Companies House integration for company data and an address lookup for residential addresses – see UX guidance. If you already validate these fields another way, no further action is needed.

Tips for a successful launch

Notify iwoca of your launch date

We'll have our teams ready for your first applications and be on hand for any launch issues.

Soft launch first

Limit your initial launch to a small subset of customers. This lets both teams verify everything works before full volume, and gives our customer success team a chance to familiarise themselves with your customers.

iwoca closely monitors new integrations for the first few days and will notify you of any concerns. Get in touch at any time if something comes up.
