Your test API keys are generated automatically. You can integrate, test the payment page, send webhooks, replay transactions — all before the regulatory verification. Designed so you validate your integration before committing.
Production request

From your dashboard, click 'Go live'. A form asks for your company info: legal representative, IBAN, business description, merchant website URL.

Regulatory verification of your profile
2h to 3 business days
European payment regulation (AML) requires the verification of any merchant collecting funds. Concretely, we ask for:
- Legal representative\'s ID (front/back)
- Company registration extract
- An IBAN under the company name
- A written business description + your website URL
Why this step?
A payment provider that verifies nothing should worry you. These controls protect your funds, your business and your customers — and are required by European regulation.
Activation & first payment
Immediate after validation
Your production keys are generated. Your personalised commission rate is confirmed in the dashboard. You can accept your first customers within the second. Payouts to your IBAN start according to the displayed calendar.
