With StagingPro pre-installed on the Production site, note the Production store hash ID. You can see the Plan Level of the store to detect that it is a production Store. An example name of a production Plan Level is “Plan Level: Enterprise Plan Store” Similarly, in a Staging store, the plan level is shown as “Plan Level: Sandbox Store”.
When you launch the StagingPro app on the Staging site, enter the Productions store hash here and click ‘Save’.
The store hash is generally in the following format: https://store-a1b2c3d4e5.mybigcommerce.com/ which means a1b2c3d4e5 is the store hash ID.
And click ‘Save’ to save the change.
IMPORTANT: production hash ID must be entered only in the ID field of the respective Sandbox store
