Hey! You should just be able to switch keys and it work! That's the whole idea of the sandbox mode – so you can build and then switch to live. There's not much difference: https://stripe.com/docs/keys#test-live-modes

@stoic smelt I'm getting caught up on threads here and just wanted to confirm if the advice that @frank rain provided was what you were looking for?

hi

#

I was just wondering if there is some advantage to keep the test key or is it going to mess up my code?

#

but probably not

#

i have another question: is there a way to request some additional info during a standard checkout session, for example to add a text box for some notes?

If you keep your test key in your live site, there is a chance it'll get used when you're not expecting it to. If you want to keep your test key plugged in then you'd probably want a "sandbox" and "production" version of your site, which has the advantage of allowing you to test rapidly in the future but the overhead of maintaining two sites.
