In most cases, the account approval process is nearly instantaneous and most users will be able to accept payments right away.

If we need more information about a business or expect a longer delay in processing an account approval, we will reach out to you immediately.

Additional Information

• Businesses on our Restricted Business list commonly experience longer processing delays. If you are running a business that typically has trouble accepting payments online, we recommend reviewing our Restricted Businesses documentation prior to submitting your account application.
