What is a Merchant in Centrapay?
A merchant is an initiator of Payment Requests. A Merchant has Merchant Configs that define the payment methods available for a Payment Request.
Most businesses may only need one merchant. If a business is managed by the same company and has multiple locations we would recommend having each location listed as a merchant in the same business account.
For example there might be a business called “Centra Perk Ltd.” that manages Centra Perk Ponsonby and Centra Perk Taupo.
How do I create a Merchant?
Once you have created your Business Account, on the merchants page click “Add a Merchant” to create and configure your first merchants with;
- Merchant name
- Address of service
- Terminal integrations
- Asset integrations
- Settlement details
Once you are ready you can create the merchant.
NOTE: If you do not have all the information needed with you, simply populate the information you do have, hit create and continue when you have the remaining details.
Does it cost to join Centrapay?
Centrapay is designed to reduce costs for merchants.
As we are still in the early phases of growing our merchant acceptance network we are offering businesses who join before November 2021 free set up, with a flat transaction fee specific to some certain third party digital assests.
How to Accept Digital Assets
A merchant on the Centrapay network will automatically be configured to accept NZD.
A mechant can then intergrate with assets providers and request to accept a range of other assets. For example a mechant can integrate with Gift Station and request to accept Hospitality New Zealand’s KOHA card.
