Before you can accept live payments, your business goes through a short verification review (KYB, short for know your business). Test mode needs no review, so you can build and test the full flow first, then submit for review when you are ready to go live.
The fastest approvals happen when your product is already live, your legal pages are visible, and your support email matches the one shown on your website.

Approval checklist

Review process

Review time

Reviews are usually done within 24 to 48 hours. You will get an email when the review is complete or if we need a change.

Review outcomes

  • Approved: your account can start accepting live payments.
  • Changes requested: fix the flagged items, then resubmit from the same place you started.

Where to start

Open Go live and start Verify your business.
Go live page showing 1 of 3 done, with the rows Create your first product, Verify your business, and Go live

The Go live page: create your first product, verify your business, then go live.

Information you provide

  • Your legal name, or your business entity name
  • Your product name and its website URL
  • A short description of your business and how you operate
  • A description of the products you intend to sell
  • Your country of tax residence

Businesses managed by a platform

A client’s business files its own review. Its platform may file the review for the client, and our reviewers see that the platform filed it. The identity check is the client’s alone. Another app of the same company is verified with that company, and we review only its product.

Common reasons for a change request

  1. Support email mismatch: the email in your business details does not match the one on your website.
  2. Website not reachable: your site is down, password-protected, or returning errors during review.
  3. Missing legal pages: your website needs a Privacy Policy and Terms.
  4. False information: fake reviews, testimonials, or inflated counts on your website.
  5. Product not ready: if your product is not live yet, keep using Test mode until it is.

Reasons for the review

We review accounts to keep the platform legitimate and compliant. As your merchant of record we are the legal seller, so a light review up front protects both sides against fraud, misuse, and high-risk activity.

Customer support requirements

Good support is a requirement for every merchant.
  • A visible support email is required, on your public website and in your dashboard.
  • Use a branded support email. If your product is MintAI, use support@mintai.com, not a generic address.
  • Buyers must be able to cancel a subscription. A buyer cancels by contacting you, or in your own software or app. See Subscriptions.
  • Respond to customer requests promptly. If a buyer cannot reach you, we may issue a refund on your behalf.
