First, you'll want to:
- Select your preferred integration method
- Decide on the payment methods you want to support
- Select any other APIs or capabilities you think you'll find useful
By default, you can test most card payment flows. You cannot however test card payouts. Email our Support team at support@checkout.com if you would like more information on testing card payouts.
If you require any alternative payment methods (for example, PayPal, Sofort, iDEAL), email our Support team at support@checkout.com to enable them on your test account.
Once you've run some initial tests to make sure everything's running smoothly, you can then apply for a live account to start processing payments with us. To do this, contact our Sales team at sales@checkout.com.
We'll need you to complete an online application form, which will then be reviewed by our in-house Onboarding team. We may ask you to provide further documentation, including corporate structure documentation, legal entity details, bank account information, and principal owners.
Once we've approved your application, you’ll execute a contract and we'll provide you with your production credentials. We then recommend that you perform a test transaction, or run a pilot in production, before processing real customer transactions. This allows you to ensure that everything is set up correctly and will work as expected.
After that, you're ready to start accepting live payments from your customers.
