Creating a Merchant Profile

The merchant onboarding process through the API begins with creating a merchant profile. This step involves two key actions:

1

Request a Merchant Identifier (MID)

Xplor Pay assigns a unique 16-digit Merchant Identifier (MID) to each merchant. The MID tracks transactions and ensures accurate processing throughout the application lifecycle. It acts as a unique identifier for individual merchants or portfolios.

2

Create a Merchant Application

Xplor Pay generates the merchant application and securely links all essential details to the MID. It uses the POST method to allow the submission of essential data necessary to establish a merchant profile. This ensures that the merchant’s account is set up effectively to manage credit card transactions and related services.
