Eligibility screening confirms agency licensing and required error and omission coverage. Uploads of W-9, E&O declarations, and contact details are verified in a secure staging area before live activation.

Sandbox Testing and Go-Live
Sandbox accounts enable end-to-end testing of quoting, binding, and billing without affecting live transactions. Once test cases pass, support transitions the agency to production with scheduled cutover notifications.
