Create a Merchant Account

Adding your Merchants as part of the whitelabel Payment Services solution.

🚧

This page is only relevant for you if you plan to use Layer1's Payment Services—merchant-facing crypto checkout experience.

To create an account for merchants, do the following:

1. Go to Merchant Payments > Accounts.

2. Click + Account and on the Create an Account screen, complete the following fields:
   • Name: Enter the business name of the future merchant account.
   • Network whitelist: Enter IP addresses to restrict platform access for the admin user and the API key of this account. Otherwise, enter 0.0.0.0/0.
   • Owner first name and last name: Enter the full name of the admin user who will manage the account.
   • Owner email address: Enter the admin user's email address to which the invitation message will be sent. This user will have all required roles as default.
   • Reference: Enter or click the Generate icon to add the unique ID of the account to be used internally.

     🚧

     If you’re exploring the account portal, use a different email address than the one you used for your tenant user.

     Adding “+1” to your existing email alias is an easy way to do this (see example below).

3. Click Add an account. Check your email and complete the signup process by following instructions from the invitation message.
4. Go to the Sandbox Account Portal.

Add users

You can add users for your merchant in the Sandbow Account Portal. For that, go to Settings > Users. The flow is the same as adding users to the tenant. Use the Roles descriptions to provide appropriate access levels for users.
