Checking final RUO merchant approval before enabling payments

Use the final written terms as the release record

Collect the applicable agreement, approval notice, and any written conditions. Record the effective date and identify which provider contact can resolve discrepancies. Clarify what is complete, what is pending, and whether any condition must be met before payment can be enabled.

Compare each launch item against the approved scope

• Match the legal seller, storefront domains, catalog scope, and order channels to the approval record.
• Check the transaction profile and any written limits or restrictions that apply.
• Verify the gateway and settlement destination correspond to the approved account.
• Document who confirmed the payment setup and what remains unverified before launch.

Record the release decision and hand it to operations

Have the responsible owner record which storefront and channel can go live and when. Keep the approved scope available to support, finance, and the team publishing website changes. After launch, compare the first recorded transactions and deposits with that scope and resolve any discrepancy with the provider.
