Let Optimo Financial know that you're ready to release to production

Update your instance to point to production

Set-up your production registration page so your users can register with Pathfinder and automatically be connected to your system – Optimo Financial will provide you with the link.
Change the link in your code to refer to the production API. In the sample code, set the _baseUrls variable value to

Test (if necessary)

Most of our testing will have been completed in sandbox, however, to do a quick check in production:

To set-up a new log in, register with the customer registration form you have been provided by Optimo Financial.
For adding cases:
1. To start, you can sign up for a 14-day free trial subscription by clicking the ‘Add new case’ button and following the prompts. No credit card is required. To save you getting a of subscription emails, you can cancel the subscription on the ‘Manage users’ page.
2. After your 14-day trial free subscription ends, please Contact Optimo Financial and we can add some free cases for you, so you can keep adding cases without needing to enter credit card details (note: the 'fake credit card' details you used in the sandbox won't work in production).
