To add a large number of stores, ask our POS Support Team to send you a Store Request Form, and then complete and return the form.
With this form you can request multiple stores in one go. If you want to add stores to multiple merchant accounts, the process is fastest from our side if you submit a separate form for each merchant account.
To avoid follow-up questions from us and associated delays, it is important that you fill out this form correctly and completely. To enable you to do that, we describe the fields of the form here. The form itself also contains this information.
For a live account
To request stores for a live account, fill out the entire Store Request Form. The fields are divided in categories:
- Merchant information
- Principal financial contact - this applies when the store is located in the US
