Doing the steps in this order avoids most delays. Each step unlocks the next one, and the checklist on your business Home page follows the same order.
Step by step
- Complete your profile and verify your phone number. Reviewers check that the person creating a business can be contacted.
- Create the business. Use the exact legal name from your registration certificate.
- Add your registered address and upload the registration and tax documents.
- Add a payout bank account in the name of the business. Personal accounts are rejected.
- Create your first channel and install the apps you need.
- Submit the business for review. Approval usually takes one to two working days.
Worth knowingYou can build channels and try apps while the business is still a draft. Only the ability to take live payments waits for approval.
Common questions
Can I change the business name later?
Yes, but a name change on an approved business goes through a short review. Trading names on individual channels can be changed at any time.
Do I need documents to start?
No. You can create a draft business without documents. You need them only when you submit for review.
