Create a website to initiate payment

To accept payments through the Gateway, your account needs a website and at least one product (SKU) created for that website. Follow these steps to set both up in the Merchant Portal.

Step 1: Create a website

1. Log in to the Merchant Portal.
2. In the main menu, expand Merchant and click Websites.
3. In the top-right corner of the Websites table, click Create Site.
4. Fill in the required information:
   • Site Name — your domain name, without http(s)://
   • External Id — the site's identifier within your own system
   • Status — set to visible (default) or hidden. Hidden excludes the site from the Websites table but does not restrict access to it
   • Site type — select one of the following:
     • Generic
     • WooCommerce — see the WooCommerce guide for setup details
     • NATs v.3 / v.4 — requires additional information; see the NATs setup guide
   • Tracking code — optional. JavaScript in <script> tags, or HTML in <a> or <img> tags
5. Click Create.

Your website now appears in the Websites list. From there you can edit its settings, customize the checkout page, or add an express checkout button. For details, see Manage websites.

Step 2: Create a product (SKU)

Each website needs at least one product before it can take payments.

1. In the main menu, expand Merchant and click Websites.

2. Find your website in the table and click Products.

3. In the top-right corner of the Products table, click Create Product.

4. Select a product type:

   Type	Description
   One-Time	A single, flat-rate charge
   Subscription	A recurring charge at a set billing frequency
   Trial	An introductory price that automatically converts to a standard subscription
   Free Trial	A zero-cost introductory period (0.00 initial price) that automatically converts to a paid subscription

5. Fill in the required pricing and configuration fields, then click Create.

For more on managing products — editing, enabling/disabling, and filtering — see Manage products.

You can also create a product via the API by sending a POST request to /sku. For the full request and response schema, see the Create product (SKU) reference.

Next steps

Once your website and product are set up, you're ready to use the API to initiate payments. Choose the integration method that fits your use case:
