This form is for merchants integrating directly with our API or via an SDK. Validation includes basic checks. However, based on the complexity of your integration, we may ask you to run additional test scenarios. For Enterprise merchants, contact your support team or account manager to see if there are any additional testing requirements.
What happens next?
After you submit the form, give us some time to review your information and also to take a look at your Sandbox activity. If everything passes our validation checks, we’ll create API Production credentials for you (an app id and an app key) and will be in touch to exchange them. In most cases, you’ll hear back from us within 24 hours.
If you don’t already have a Merchant Service Agreement in place, please visit the Global Payments website to sign up.Â
If you’re coding to implement customer-present transactions, please email certintake@globalpay.com to let us know.
What do I do once I go live?
You’ll need to do a little testing in Production and process a real transaction. Confirm that your integration works as expected and also that the merchant’s funds are deposited into the correct bank account.
