Creating a Merchant Account

In this article, you will learn how to create a new merchant account within your platform.

A new merchant account can be created via the signup page, by duplicating an existing merchant account or by using the Service API.

Creating a Merchant Account via the Signup Page

New merchants can register with your platform using the link https://login.domain.com.

You can also access the signup page by navigating to Merchants in the platform administration of your Payrexx account and clicking the "+ Create merchant account" button:

Registering a new merchant via the signup page

The signup page will open, allowing you to register the new merchant:

Entering the email address and the instance name

1. Your business e-mail address: Enter the merchant’s email address. A six-digit verification code will be sent to this email address in the next step. Additionally, an administrator user account will be created with this email.

2. Desired name: Enter the desired instance name for the merchant. The instance name is part of the URL for the merchant’s payment pages. If you choose "example" as the instance name, the URL will be: https://example.your-domain.com/

Finally, some business details must be provided. Once these details are entered, the account creation process is complete.

Creating a Merchant Account by Duplicating an Existing Account

In the platform administration of your Payrexx account, navigate to Merchants, hover over the row of the merchant you want to copy as a template for the new merchant, and click the "Duplicate" icon:

Duplicating an existing merchant as a basis for a new account

In the following window, define the instance name and administrator email address for the new merchant:

Assigning an instance name and an email address to the new merchant

1. New instance name: Enter the desired instance name for the merchant. The instance name is part of the URL for the merchant’s payment pages. If you choose "example" as the instance name, the URL will be: https://example.your-domain.com.
2. Email of administrator: Enter the merchant’s email address. An email containing login credentials (an automatically generated password) will be sent to this address in the next step. Additionally, an administrator user account will be created with this email.

Click "Copy" to finalize the creation of the new merchant.

Please remember to update the business details inherited from the copied merchant after the account has been created.
