Onboard

Merchants who onboard to the WePay Merchant Center will complete onboarding tasks here.

Resolve Errant Fields

During onboarding, we may determine that one or more KYC values submitted by a merchant were incorrect and consequently clear out the value(s). Merchants who are required to re-enter errant KYC information will be prompted with an option to do so in the Merchant Center. The errant fields will be highlighted for the merchant, and all other KYC fields will be non-editable.

Verify KYC

During onboarding, we may require supporting documentation to verify a merchant. When this happens, merchants will receive an email and will see a banner when they log in to the Merchant Center.

When the merchant clicks the banner, the document upload screen will load. This page will provide guidance to the merchant regarding what kind of documents to provide.

Manage Settings

Modify Public Information

Merchants have the ability to change the Business Name and Contact Number that appears on the payer's card/bank statements. The first time a merchant accesses the Merchant Center, a modal will load showing the merchant how to change these details from the Public Information section of their settings tab.

If a merchant would like to challenge the dispute, they will click the “Challenge” button. The resulting pop up will explain what a dispute is, as well as the different forms of documentation they can provide in order for WePay to fight the dispute on their behalf. The merchant will also be able to provide context on what the payment was for, as well as an explanation as to why they would like to challenge the dispute.

After challenging a dispute, the status will change to “Pending - Awaiting Support Review.” There will also be a message shown saying “It will take between 5-10 business days from Contested on date for the full review to be complete. Please wait until then to contact support regarding this Dispute.”

Issue Refunds

If a merchant would like to refund a payment, they can click on the transaction. Underneath the payment information will be an “Issue Refund” button that the merchant can select to initiate the refund.
