AlertPay Merchant Account Setup
1. Getting Started
In order to start accepting payment with AlertPay you need to sign-up for one of AlertPay’s merchant accounts: AlertPay Premium or AlertPay Secured. Personal accounts do not have access to merchant tools and so cannot accept payments using AlertPay.
1.1 Create Merchant Account
Setting up your merchant account is a 3-step process.
Step 1: Registration
To sign up for your Premium or Secured account go to https://www.alertpay.com/?guae%2bNY0XIqKajpTElWBNQ%3d%3d and click Sign Up in the upper right corner of the page. Complete the registration form with your personal information (not your business information). Make sure you remember the email address and password you use to register your account; you will need those to log in to your AlertPay account. Protect Your Identity: Do not give your password out to anyone. AlertPay representatives will never ask for your password.
Step 2: Email Validation
Click on the validation link sent to your email address. You will be required to enter your password to validate your email address. Once your email address is validated, you must login (using your email address and password) to continue the registration process.
Step 3: Account Creation
Once logged in, you are ready to create your AlertPay merchant account. You first choose your account type and then enter the details for that account. If you do not complete the entire process you will need to do it again the next time you sign in. Choose your account type. Choose either the Premium account or the Secured account.
The AlertPay Premium and Secured accounts are described in brief below. For more details about the account that is best for your needs go to: www.alertpay.com/siteMerchantAccounts.aspx
AlertPay Premium Account: The AlertPay Premium account is perfect for buying and selling online with the option to do business under your personal name or under a company/group name (some business type restrictions apply). Send money easily and for free. Receive money from all your businesses to one account at a competitive rate. AlertPay Secured Account: This account accepts multi-level marketing, mature content and other "risky" businesses. With an AlertPay Secured account you have access to numerous online selling tools to help your business thrive online as well as chargeback preventive measures to protect your business. After choosing your account type, enter the details about your business.
• Company/Display Name – The name you want displayed to others when they send money to your primary email address. This can be your personal name or a company name.
• Secondary Password – This password will be required when you withdraw funds from your account or when you initiate transfers.
• Business Information – This is the address and contact phone number for the business. If it is not the same as your personal information, then change the contents of the text box accordingly.
That’s it! You have finished creating your merchant account and are automatically logged in to your AlertPay member area. You can start receiving payment simply by giving out your email address to other AlertPay members.
