- Merchant can begin processing
- Once the Reseller has shared the live details with the Merchant, they can complete any final set-up on their side (e.g. the integration) and from there they can begin processing and using the Gateway as required.
- We do recommend Merchant’s run a friendly live transaction to ensure your entire card processing system is operating as they expect. This will also give them a final chance to check their settlement times and settlement bank details before going live.
