Account
An account with Paylike is all you need to accept payments through Visa and Mastercard. You don't need a “PSP” or an “acquirer”. With Paylike you have the technical partnership (PSP), and we make the banking agreement, the so-called merchant account, on your behalf at our acquiring partner bank.
Create an account or login here.
If you are technical and prefer to use our API directly you can create your account, capture payments and everything just by following our API documentation. If you are merely a human, like me writing this, you can see how to create a live account on Youtube.
Approval
Once you have a created a live account you are ready to accept payments from your customers. Before you can move your funds from your Paylike account to your regular bank account, we need to approve you. Read about the account approval process here (it's simple, don't worry).
