# Connect to Stripe in Live Mode

Are you ready to go live?

          

You cannot update the existing test Payment Gateway to live. This will result in an error. Please create a new Payment Gateway.

If you have refreshed a partial or full sandbox from Production, please create a template that does not include the Payment Gateway object. *Otherwise, scheduled Transactions in production will be recaptured in the sandbox.*

It's time to connect to your Stripe Account in live mode and create a new Payment Gateway to capture real Transactions.

This gateway should be marked as the default gateway instead of the test mode gateway.

1. Go to the Payments Setup Wizard.
2. Click **Let's get started**.

3. Set Select Provider = "Stripe" and Gateway Mode = "Live".
