Once you have obtained your merchant number and you have chosen the right VSP system for you, there are few more steps you need to take to start accepting payments from your customers using Protx:
Complete Protx's online application: www.protx.com/apply/
The application will ask you for the details we need to set up an account for you and, if you are doing a custom integration, you will be able to download the integration documents and start testing with us without delay. Don't worry if you do not have all of the information to hand- you can start the application now and finish it later.
Test with your unique account details
Once we have received your completed application, you will receive an email from Protx support team within 24 hours advising you how to test with your unique account details.
Go live and start accepting payments
Once you have tested the integration and signed a Direct Debit instruction, you can request protx to make your account live. Protx will add your account to the live server within 48 hours of receiving your request. You must then make a final test transaction using your own credit card to check that everything is working correctly before starting to accept payments from your customers!
