Task 7: Establish a Go-Live Date

Contact your implementation manager to confirm that the production implementation date is valid. There is a 15-day lead time between the request date and activation date.

Visa will execute the agreed-upon implementation date unless the client changes the date. If the production implementation date must be changed, establish a new date with your implementation manager. Visa requires at least 15 business days prior to the implementation date to change the original date.

When an implementation date is established, the implementation manager arranges to have processing schedules set up according to information submitted in the

Visa Platform Connect

– Acquirer Implementation Questionnaire.

The implementation manager will request Visa Acceptance Solutions Operations to activate a batch group job for the gateway. BusOps requires at least two weeks prior to implementation date to set up processing schedules defined by the batch group.

Information to set schedules is based on information specified in Section I of the Acquirer Implementation Questionnaire. Verify with your implementation manager that Visa will help you to monitor and verify that the production environment setup is correct.
