Get Started with Privex Pay in Minutes

Follow this step-by-step guide to create your Privex Pay merchant account, complete KYC, and start accepting payments in about 15 minutes.

Privex Pay is designed to get you from sign-up to accepting live payments in approximately 15 minutes. This guide walks you through every required step: creating your account, securing it with two-factor authentication, completing identity verification, configuring where you receive your payouts, and generating your first payment link or connecting the API.

KYC (identity verification) is required before you can accept live payments. You will need a government-issued photo ID and must complete a liveness check. Have these ready before you begin.

1. Create your account

   Go to privexpay.com and enter your email address to register. Choose a strong, unique password for your account.

2. Verify your email address

   Check your inbox for a verification email from Privex Pay. Click the confirmation link to activate your account. If the email does not appear within a few minutes, check your spam folder.

3. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

   After confirming your email, you will be prompted to set up 2FA. Use an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator or Authy) to scan the QR code shown in your account settings and enter the generated code to confirm setup. Two-factor authentication protects your account against unauthorized access.

4. Complete KYC verification

   To unlock your full merchant account and accept live payments, you must complete identity verification. During KYC you will:

   • Submit a valid passport or government-issued photo ID
   • Complete a liveness check (a short camera-based verification to confirm you are a real person)
   • Allow device and network analysis as part of the verification process

   KYC is reviewed promptly. Once approved, you gain access to the full Merchant Dashboard.

5. Configure your payout destination

   In the Merchant Dashboard, navigate to Payout Settings and add your preferred payout destination. You can receive funds in:

   • Ethereum (ETH): provide your crypto wallet address to receive weekly ETH payouts every Monday
   • Bank account: provide your bank details to receive funds by bank transfer

   There is no minimum payout amount, and payouts cover all transactions that cleared during the previous week.

6. Generate a payment link or integrate the API

   You are now ready to accept payments. Choose the approach that fits your setup:

   Payment links (no website required) In the Merchant Dashboard, select Payment Links and create a new link. Privex Pay generates a shareable URL and a QR code you can send to customers directly.

   API integration If you have a website or application, follow the API integration guide to embed Privex Pay’s checkout flow directly into your product.

Payment links are the fastest way to start collecting money. You can create one immediately after KYC approval, with no technical setup required.
