# Implementation Overview

Implementing ChangeUp is straightforward. Follow this outline to be on the right track. Breaking down the project into three phases: **Planning**, **Integration**, and **Test & QA** historically work well.

## Checklist

### Planning

The planning phase is critical to get all stakeholders on the same page, set expectations, and uncover any risks as early as possible:

* [ ] **Define Teams** - With enterprise partners, this typically involves CSR, Product, UX/UI, Engineering, Accounting, and Legal.
* [ ] **Scoping Questions** - Decide on topics that ChangeUp will provide before integration starts.
* [ ] **Project Timeline** - Refine the project timeline based on discovery during scoping questions.

### Integration

This is where the hands-on work really starts. As long as planning has been completed, integration will go smoothly.

* [ ] Finalize UX/UI Design
* [ ] Plan for Downstream System 
* [ ] [Technical Implementation](#technical-implementation)

### Test & QA

ChangeUp widget(s) have been tested in the partner sandbox environment, and the flow of donations in internal partner systems is configured.

* [ ] Switch to [Live Environment](/app/changeup-dms/widget-setup/test-and-live-environments.md)
* [ ] Confirm Data Transfer from [Post Transaction](/app/changeup-dms/widget-setup/implement-the-post-checkout-webhook.md)
* [ ] QA and Launch 🚀

## Technical Implementation

Following the framework above, the steps to going live in your application are:

1. [Create a widget](/app/changeup-dms/widget-setup/create-a-widget.md)
2. [Configure the widget](/app/changeup-dms/widget-setup/configure-donate-at-checkout.md) with charities, donation type, and other settings
3. Copy [Installation](/app/changeup-dms/widget-setup/install-widget.md) code
4. Copy into your app
5. Test & QA
6. Go live
