# Atlas Go-Live Checklist

Pre-launch checklist for going live with Atlas covering account creation, compliance verification, webhook configuration, end-to-end encryption setup, and sandbox testing.

1. **Create an Atlas account.** You can [sign up for free](https://atlas-app.tryduplo.com/auth/signup), if you don't have one.

2. **Submit your compliance documents and get verified.** Check out our guide on [Compliance and Verification](https://docs.tryduplo.com/atlas/guides/compliance) to get started.

3. **Add a webhook URL to your account dashboard.** This allows us to notify your server when important events happen. Check out our guide on [Webhooks](https://docs.tryduplo.com/atlas/guides/webhooks) to learn more.

4. **Turn on end-to-end encryption** on your dashboard to keep your payloads safe even if they get leaked. Learn more in our [Encryption](https://docs.tryduplo.com/atlas/guides/webhooks) guide.

5. **Test your integration using your sandbox keys.** Follow our [Test Accounts](https://docs.tryduplo.com/atlas/guides/test-accounts) guide to learn how you can fund and withdraw money in the sandbox.
