Create Vendor

The Create Vendor request enables you to set up a new vendor who will be associated with your marketplace. The Create Vendor request is where you submit the vendors KYC information, their banking information, the agreed upon commission split and so on.

📘
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.
