Payments ready, vetted by our payments team
Before launch, the same people who handle your payments setup review your website and ask for any changes your business needs. Every business is looked at individually, which is why we never publish a checklist and never build to one. The site and the application go through together.
One form starts both your website build and your eCom Pay application.
Our payments team reviews the site as it is built, so nothing is left to chance at launch.
Approved and taking payments in 24 hours* once your documents are in. Next working day settlement, no rolling reserve.
