Razorpay key IDs carry the mode in the identifier itself, prefixed rzp_test_ for test mode and rzp_live_ for live. The key ID is public and appears in the browser as the key option handed to Checkout, while the key secret stays server side. The two modes hold entirely separate orders, payments, customers, plans, subscriptions and webhooks, and IDs never cross over.

Because the mode is visible in the front-end bundle, a deploy shipping the test key renders a checkout that completes without charging anyone, and one shipping a live key into staging takes real money from whoever tries it. Confirm by grepping the built JavaScript bundle for the prefix. Add a build-time assertion that the prefix matches the deployment environment, and never let the key ID fall back to a hard-coded literal.
