Create Vendor

📘
Marketplace Support
BlueSnap Marketplace is available only in the following locations:

Israel

United Kingdom and European Union, with proper approvals

For more information, speak with a payments expert.

The Create Vendor request enables you to set up a new vendor that will be associated with your marketplace. Use this request to submit the vendor's KYC information, their banking information, the agreed-upon commission split, etc.

📘
Important: Vendor verification requirements

Initially, you do not need all your vendor's information to submit the request to immediately begin processing transactions; however, to fully board your vendor, you must collect all the necessary Know Your Customer (KYC), banking, and any additional required information from them, and submit to BlueSnap for verification.

In addition, to be eligible for payout, the vendor must meet vendor verification requirements.
