Vendor Flow Copy section link Copied!
AgoraPay offers 2 methods to easily onboard your new merchants by automating the sending of the necessary supporting documents via the configuration of the AgoraPay APIs or by Selfcare.
The SelfCare can be triggered either via the AgoraPay portal or via a dedicated API /selfCare/init. This API will be available soon.
It's up to you to decide what's best for you and your merchants, knowing that SelfCare is a solution where the merchant does all the enrollment work.
Selfcare Copy section link Copied!
The Selfcare enrollment process is triggered directly on the AgoraPay Portal : Vendeurs > Invitations > Inviter un vendeur
Some information is requested in order to address the email to the merchant so that he enrolls independently on the Selfcare AgoraPay workflow.

If you need to cancel a current request, you can use the Unregister API.
If you want to update or correct a request, you can use the Update API.
The Update API does not allow you to modify the legal form of the merchant, if it is a question of correcting the legal form, you will have to cancel the request (Cancel API) and create a new enrollment request.
