The Onboarding Process at a Glance

Onboarding with Nexzoneo Pay is designed to be fast and developer-friendly. You do not need to wait for full account approval before you start integrating — sandbox access is granted the moment you submit your application.

Good to know: You don't need to be approved before you start integrating. Sandbox access is granted immediately on application — so your developers can begin work on day one.

1Getting in Touch

There are two ways most merchants first connect with Nexzoneo Pay:

Either path leads to the same product, the same pricing structure, and the same support. If you came in through an agent, that relationship is preserved on your account — your agent becomes a point of contact who can help you throughout your time with Nexzoneo Pay.

2Submitting Your Application

The application form is short and can be completed in a few minutes. You'll be asked to provide:

Account & contact information

Company information

Business address

Your website(s)

No upfront approval required. You can start using sandbox API credentials and integration tools immediately after submitting the form. Final account approval — required to switch to live mode — happens later, once your integration is ready and your merchant agreement is signed.

Start your application

3Integrating in Sandbox Mode

Once you've applied, log in to your merchant dashboard at payment.nexzoneo.com and create your first Site — this represents the website or application that will accept payments. Each site is issued its own credentials:

Sites can be operated in Test Mode (sandbox) or Live Mode. While you build and test, leave the site in Test Mode — no real money will move, but the API behaves identically to live.

Two integration paths

You can integrate Nexzoneo Pay in one of two ways, depending on your platform:

WooCommerce Plugin

Recommended for WordPress stores. Adds Nexzoneo Pay as a checkout option, handles webhook validation, and supports refunds and test mode out of the box.

Direct REST API

For custom platforms, mobile apps, or non-WooCommerce stores. Endpoints, authentication, request/response formats, error codes, and code examples all documented.

API reference
Test mode = real workflow, no real money. Test mode uses identical API endpoints, authentication, webhooks, and response formats as live mode. Anything you build in sandbox will work the same way in production once you switch credentials.

4Getting Help While You Integrate

Our IT and integration team is available throughout your build to answer questions, help you debug, review your code, and make sure your integration is solid before going live.

How to reach us

What our team can help with

Tip — share useful context up front. When you contact us, include your merchant ID or company name, the site you're working on, and any relevant request IDs, error messages, or screenshots. This lets us help you faster.

5Merchant Agreement & Approval

When your integration is functioning correctly in sandbox and you're ready to start processing real payments, two things need to happen:

1. Sign the Nexzoneo Pay merchant agreement

We make your merchant agreement available in the Contract section of your dashboard. Review it carefully — it covers fees, settlement schedule, responsibilities, dispute handling, and compliance obligations. You approve it electronically from inside the merchant dashboard.

2. Account approval

Our team reviews your merchant account, your business information, and your integration. Once approved, your account is unlocked for live processing.

6Going Live

After approval, we issue your live API credentials. To go live you simply:

From this point on, your customers can pay you through Nexzoneo Pay. You can monitor transactions, balances, settlements, refunds, and disputes from the merchant dashboard at payment.nexzoneo.com.

Settlements & payouts

Settlements (the payouts of your earnings to your bank account) are made according to the schedule and terms defined in your signed merchant agreement. Each settlement is documented in your dashboard with a downloadable PDF settlement report. Actual payout dates may vary by 1–3 business days depending on banking holidays.

Always reconcile against your dashboard. Your merchant dashboard is the authoritative source for transaction status, fees, balances, refunds, and settlements. We recommend reconciling your accounting against the dashboard reports on a regular schedule.
