Overview
Before a business can begin processing orders and accepting bank deposits, a merchant account must be provisioned by Boulevard. Once an application for a new merchant account is submitted, it generally takes about 2 business days to be approved. Approval times can vary and it is best to submit further in advance when possible. Information needed for the application includes:
- Incorporation details
- Type (LLC, S-Corp, DBA, etc.)
- Legal name
- Tax ID
- Address and contact details (where their 1099-k's will be sent)
- Owner's details
- Name, DOB, SSN
- Address and contact details
- Business's bank ACH and account numbers
IMPORTANT: Before multiple merchant accounts can be added, the feature must be enabled. Head to Manage > Details > Scroll to the bottom of the page and check the box "Enable Staff Merchant Accounts".
