Overview

This article provides an overview of the Zeta merchant account setup and recharging the Zeta account with virtual money in a pre-pod environment. This also covers initial testing to verify the recharge by transacting at pre-pod merchant server.

Create a Zeta Merchant Account

Zeta merchant portal is a web-based interface for merchants to administer the overall business programs. Using the portal, you can recharge a user's Zeta account, review your total sales, manage your orders and many more. You need to create a new Zeta Merchant account to gain access to the Zeta Merchant portal. 

After successful login, you can perform various fund transfer activities including adding money to user’s Zeta wallet.

Zeta accounts are protected with two-factor authentication mechanism - a secure means to access the Zeta merchant portal dashboard.

• 1st-step verification (OTP based): Verify using an OTP sent to your registered phone number

• 2nd-step verification (Password based): Specify the password that you set up during sign up.

Creating a

Merchant Account

To request for a merchant account, you need to provide your business details such as:

• Merchant company name: A company is a legal entity required to open a developer account and also for the compliance.
• Contact details: An official mobile number of the contact person. This is needed to link to the developer account
• Bank account details: Bank details are mandatory to receive payment from Zeta users and resolve payment settlement.
• Authorized merchant code (AMC): This is mandatory if you use an EDC machine to receive payments. With AMC, Zeta will identify your nature of business and then determine the user's digital instrument type to release the payment to you (merchant) as requested. For example, if you run a medicine shop, Zeta will ensure that you receive the payment from user's digital medical card.

Zeta then verifies the relevant details and co-ordinates you in case of invalid entries and documents. Upon successful verification, Zeta approves the request and assists you with the signup instructions.
