# Get started in Production

The BILL API documentation website provides instructions for testing your integrations with the BILL v3 API in the sandbox environment. Follow this guide when you are ready to go live with your integration in the BILL production environment.

> 👍 You need new keys and tokens in production
>
> This guide assumes that you have tested with the BILL v3 API in the sandbox environment before you have started your go-live operations in production.
>
> Any sandbox key and token will not work in the production environment.

## Production API base URLs

Update the base URLs in your integration for testing with the API in the production environment.

| URL               | Value                                          |
| :---------------- | :--------------------------------------------- |
| API base URL      | `https://gateway.prod.bill.com/connect`        |
| Webhooks base URL | `https://gateway.prod.bill.com/connect-events` |

## Production web app URLs

Create a new account in the Production BILL web app for generating keys and tokens in the Production environment. Use this web app URL for all your AP & AR and Spend & Expense needs.

| URL          | Value                                 |
| :----------- | :------------------------------------ |
| BILL web app | `https://login.us.bill.com/neo/login` |

## Generate production keys and tokens

The AP & AR developer key and related credentials are required for testing with AP & AR API endpoints. The Spend & Expense API token is required for testing with the Spend & Expense API. As a BILL app partner, you can generate an AP & AR sync token with the BILL web app.

### AP & AR developer key and credentials

When you sign-up to create your BILL account, you set up four credentials required for the AP & AR API. These credentials are required for you to sign in with `POST /v3/login`.

| Credential      | Description                                                                                                                                   |

| Organization ID | Your BILL production account represents your organization in BILL. The organization ID is a unique alphanumeric value that begins with `008`. |
