    Onboarding API

    The Onboarding API allows partners to build their own custom interface through which sub-merchants can sign up for an account.

    Applications can be submitted completed or as partial updates. This allows flexibility for partners and allows full control of how integrators upload sub-merchant data to the API. Partners can integrate to different workflows of the API to sign sub-merchants up for various services.

    The following workflows are currently supported:

    • PSP-CAD - Canadian Card Payments
    • PSP-USD - United States Card Payments
    • GW-CDN - Canadian Payment Gateway
    • GW-USA - United States Payment Gateway
    • EFT-CAD - Canadian Funds Transfer
    • ACH-USD - United States Funds Transfer
    • BACS-GBP - United Kingdom Funds Transfer
    • SEPA-EUR - European Funds Transfer
