How it works
From application to your first live merchant.
Weeks, not quarters. Here is the whole path, with realistic durations.
Week 1
Sign up, scope, and get a sandbox.
One short sign up, one call with the people who will actually run the program, and a named sandbox with your own console login in the same week.
- Console login for your team
- Sandbox merchants and test cards
- Simulated webhooks and captured emails
Week 2 to 3
Brand it, connect the domain, rehearse the business.
Upload assets against a generated checklist, set retail prices above the wholesale floor, verify one CNAME and one TXT record, then run orders, refunds and payouts end to end in the sandbox.
- DNS verifiedPassed
- TLS issuedPassed
- White-label assets completePassed
- Test transaction succeededPassed
- KYC and underwritingIn review
Week 4 to 6
Publish atomically, onboard your first merchant.
Domains, branding, pricing and products cut over together, and one click rolls the whole thing back. Your sandbox stays alive alongside production for the next change.
The full path
Every step, with realistic durations.
- 1
Sign up
Day 0, ten minutesYou create a partner account with your company details. There is no application queue, no fee and no exclusivity at this stage. The console opens as soon as you confirm your email.
- 2
Scoping call
Week 1, sixty minutesOne call with the people who will actually run the program. We map the surfaces you want branded, the regions you sell in, whether you want hosted pages, embedded components, raw API, or a mix, and who owns the merchant relationship and support. You leave the call with a written scope and a wholesale price sheet.
- 3
Sandbox issued
Week 1, from the moment you sign upYour team gets a named sandbox with your own console login, sandbox merchants, test cards, and simulated webhooks. Nothing you do here touches a real person.
- 4
Configure and upload assets
Week 2, two to five days of workYou turn on the products you plan to sell. The console generates the exact asset checklist from those products, logos, app icons, splash screens, color tokens, email headers, receipt marks. You set your retail prices above the wholesale floor. Everything is versioned like a deploy, so changes are reviewable and reversible.
- 5
DNS and email setup
Week 2, one afternoonOne CNAME to edge.pointofsale.ai and one TXT record. The console shows exact instructions for your DNS provider, verifies each record live, and sets up email authentication so your receipts do not land in spam. If your IT team owns DNS, send them a live status link and watch the records go green. TLS issues and renews itself.
- 6
Test transactions
Week 3, two to four daysYou run the business end to end in the sandbox. Onboard a sandbox merchant, build a menu, take orders on terminal, kiosk and the guest site, fire kitchen tickets, run refunds and payouts, and read the settlement report. Your support team learns the product here, on real workflows, with no risk.
- 7
Gates pass
Week 3 to 4, depends on KYCGo-live is gated, not guessed. DNS verified, TLS issued, white-label assets complete for every enabled product, KYC and underwriting approved, and at least one successful test transaction. The console shows exactly which gates are open and which are blocking, so nothing is a surprise.
- 8
Publish
Week 4, one clickYou publish atomically. Domains, branding, pricing and products cut over together, and one click rolls the whole thing back if you need it. Your sandbox stays alive alongside production for the next change.
- 9
First merchant onboarded
Week 4 to 6Your first real merchant signs up under your brand, on your domain, at your prices. Settlement splits SaaS margin and payment residuals to you automatically. From here you repeat the loop, and if you recruit sub-resellers they run the same path inside your program.
- 10
Co-marketing begins
Week 6 onwardOnce your merchants are transacting, a portion of the revenue from your book is reinvested into local marketing under your brand. We run paid social, search, TV, out-of-home, and local events in your territory, so demand keeps feeding your pipeline.
Weeks, not quarters.
Most partners go from sign up to a published brand in four to six weeks, with the long pole being KYC and their own asset production, not our platform.
