I’ve been working on setting up a HubSpot integration and I’m stuck on something. I managed to get everything working perfectly with their sandbox environment using PHP and cURL requests. The test integration is running smoothly and I can pull data without any issues.
But now I need to move this to my actual production HubSpot account and I’m confused about the next steps. I can’t seem to locate where to find the production Client ID and Client Secret in my real HubSpot dashboard. Is there a specific section where these credentials are generated for live accounts?
Also wondering if there’s a way to link my production website directly to the app I built during testing. Any guidance on making this transition from test to live environment would be really helpful.
head over to your hubspot dev acc and find the “apps” section - ur client credentials should b there. if u created a test app, jst update it for production. also make sure to change the redirect uris or itll cause probs.
The production credentials are in your main HubSpot account settings, not the developer portal. Go to Settings > Integrations > Private Apps in your production account. You can create a new private app or convert your sandbox setup. Production apps need explicit permission scopes - no wildcard permissions like in testing. Your redirect URLs must match your live domain exactly, including HTTPS. I had issues when my production app had different scopes than my test version, so make sure your API calls match the permissions you’ve set. The Client Secret only shows once after creation, so save it right away.
dont forget to switch ur api endpoints from sandbox to production urls - super common mistake that catches ppl off guard. also check ur webhook urls if ur using them. they need to point to ur live site, not localhost or test domains.
Head to developers.hubspot.com and log in with your HubSpot credentials - it’s separate from your regular dashboard. Hit ‘Manage apps’ to either create a new app or update your existing test app for production. When you switch from sandbox to production, update your app settings with your production portal ID and set the right scopes for your integration. HubSpot will auto-generate your Client ID and Client Secret once you save the config. Heads up - depending on what scopes and features you’re using, you might need to go through HubSpot’s app review process. That can take a while, so factor it into your production timeline.
