Before you actually get started with Zeta payment functionality, you need to create a Zeta developer account to gain access to various server- and client-side Pay with Zeta (PWZ) SDKs and related methods. These SDK integrations into your existing project help you to enable accepting payments from Zeta users instantly over a secured network.
Creating a Merchant's Developer Account
Zeta merchant onboarding/sales team will assist you to create a new Zeta developer account.
To request for a developer 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 delegates you a developer account.
