# Deploy to Production

After you have tested the ecommerce bot in the development environment, you can proceed to [deploy the bot to the production environment](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/deployment-and-billing/environments/introduction/). This is done by [deploying the specific ConvoKraft bot](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/convokraft/help/manage-a-bot/deploy-a-bot/) alone, and then the entire project to production to enable the deployment of the associated function.

1. To deploy the bot to the production environment, navigate to the Bots Details page and click **Deploy to Production**.

2. In the *Deploy to Production* dialog box, enable **Include Catalyst Function Properties**. Choose the required release type and click **Deploy**.

3. After you have deployed your bot to production, you can switch to the production environment directly from the console, as shown in the screenshot below.

You can now check the [usage stats](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/convokraft/help/manage-a-bot/usage-stats/) of your bot after you start using it by clicking the **Usage stats** tab in the bot's Details page. To learn more about usage stats, please refer to [this page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/convokraft/help/manage-a-bot/usage-stats/).
