Onboarding a new merchant

  1. Are you ready?

    In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to onboard a new merchant via the user interface. We will set up a merchant representing a fast-food restaurant with three cash registers which will process transactions through Vantiv Lowell. Note that the onboarding mechanism is necessary for initial merchant setup - it allows to delegate the responsibility for initial data entry to the merchant and eliminates the need for manual procedures involved in the underwriting process.

    We will use the following parameters:
    Accounts: Multiple (We need a separate account for each register)
    Tax IDs: Single (All accounts represent cash registers that belong to one corporate entity; that is why Tax ID is the same)
    Descriptors: Single (Same as Tax IDs, everything is done under the same entity and the same descriptor can be used)
    Deposit Accounts: Single (All money process through the cash registers and deposit to the single account)
    Monthly Fees: Per Merchant (All money is charged to the restaurant regardless of a number of cash registers)
