Applying for card payments

Go to Settings → Payments → Take card payments and press Apply for card payments. It saves as you type, so you can stop, find what's missing and come back.

Have these ready:

• business registration and tax ID
• the bank account you want to be paid into: bank, branch, name on the account and account number
• photo ID, date of birth and home address for everyone who owns 25% or more of the business
• proof of address and your business registration document
• a short name for customers' card statements, up to 22 characters. Make it recognisably your shop: an unfamiliar name on a statement is the most common reason for a chargeback.

Mark one person as the main contact, then press Submit application.

What the status means: Not submitted yet is a draft only you can see. Submitted and Being reviewed mean Seascape has it, and you can't edit it while we look. We need a bit more from you means we've asked for something and you can edit again. Approved switches card payments on. Not approved comes with the reason.

When it is decided you get a notification in Seascape.
