If you run more than one website, or build sites for clients, one account for everything can get messy. Sub-merchants give each site its own identity inside your main account.
What a sub-merchant is
A sub-merchant is a separate website, app or bot connected to your main merchant account, with its own domain or handle and its own payments.
Who needs it
- Agencies managing client stores.
- Owners with several brands.
- Developers who run multiple bots or apps.
Websites, apps and bots
Each sub-merchant is linked to a platform: website, mobile app, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord or desktop app. Websites are saved by their simple domain, for example example.com, without https or www.
Benefits
- Clear reporting per site.
- Domain checks per site.
- One verified owner behind all of them.
Keep it clean
Only add sites and bots you own or are authorised to operate. Misleading or prohibited ones can lead to suspension.
