Overview
This guide walks you through every step required to register, verify your business, execute your Merchant Agreement, and go live — entirely online, with no physical paperwork.
Before You Start
Make sure you have read the Pre-Requisites page and gathered all required documents before beginning. Starting without your documents is the single most common cause of incomplete applications.
💡 Tip Allow 45–60 minutes for self-completion (Stages 1–4), plus processing windows for Stages 5 and 7. Total elapsed time is typically 3–7 business days.

- Sole Proprietorship
- Partnership
- Private Limited Company

If your business type is not listed, do not start the application yet. Review the Document Checklist by Entity Type or contact support first.
