The LiquidShop 'Go-Live' Checklist

Once you have populated your website with some products and are ready to start the 'go-live' process please consult this checklist to ensure that all key points have been addressed.

If you would like any further information on these points, please contact LiquidShop Support.

Essential before going Live

  1. Payment Details (SagePay)

    If you have not already done so, you will need to signup for a SagePay account, here is a link to a walkthrough on the application process: [click here]

    Once you have applied for your account, you will need to activate your acccount and complete your dummy transactions to familiarise yourself with the SagePay interface and complete the account activation. [click here]

    If you already have a SagePay account, please provide us with your Vendor Name and Encryption Password. If you do not have a note of these details, please contact Sagepay Support.

    If you also wish to offer PayPal as a payment method, please follow these steps to provide us with the relevant details: [click here]

    Alternatively please provide us with your login details and we will retrieve the API username, password and signature for you.

  2. Provide us with your Contact Details

    We require these details if you would like them displayed on your website.

    • Company number
    • VAT number
    • Full postal address
    • Contact/Sales phone number
    • Email address for system notifications

    These details are for our internal use.

    • Email address of best point of contact regarding your website (website admin).
    • Phone number of best point of contact regarding your website (website admin).
  3. Domain and Email Accounts

    The domain for your website can be transferred into our control, as part of this domain management service we will provide you with up to 5 POP email accounts (additional accounts can be purchased).

    If you would like to transfer your domain into our control, please change the IPS tag of the domain to ‘123-reg’, if the domain is already held in a 123-reg account, please begin an ‘inter-account transfer’ to 123-reg user ‘sitemakers1’.

    Alternatively the domain can remain in your control, if so please contact us so that we can provide you with the IP address to point to.

     

  4. Sign off forms 2 and 3

    When you are ready to put your website live, we will need these two sign off forms signed and faxed/emailed back to us.

    The 2 forms are available for download here: [click here]

 

Additional Tasks

  1. Information Pages

    You will need to complete your customer services/help pages, these include the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Delivery and Returns and Contact Us pages.

    We strongly recommend completing these pages prior to going live, though you can go live and complete these pages at a later date. LiquidShop will include some template pages that can be used, though we do recommend making use of your own details.

    If you are unsure on what should be included within these pages, please see these links for further information. [click here]

  2. Delivery Setup

    Within the LiquidShop backoffice, you will need to define your delivery charges and set up, this includes any free postage promotions, postcode surcharges and delivery restrictions.

    If you would like any assistance with this process, please contact the LiquidShop Support Department.

  3. Live test Transaction

    The final step we recommend taking is to perform a live transaction on your website, this will give you an idea of the process that your customers will be taking when they place orders and also confirms that the SagePay account setup is complete.
