As an Aggregator, you provide managed services to your clients (sub-merchants or affiliate accounts) through your digital offerings. Along with providing a platform to your clients, you are also involved in managing the client's transactions. You can collect payments, create refunds and view settlements on behalf of your clients via API and Dashboard access.
Sub-merchants are the merchants who get onboarded on the Curlec platform by a Partner. For example, Acme Corp. wants to manage payments on its application for its client Gekko & Co. Since Acme cannot natively do so, it signs up with Curlec as a Partner and creates a sub-merchant account (affiliate account) for Gekko. In this scenario, "Gekko" is Acme's sub-merchant.
After Gekko account is activated, Acme Corp can use its account credentials to create and manage transactions on behalf of Gekko. It can also access Gekko’s Curlec Dashboard. Since Gekko is also a registered Curlec merchant, it will have the ability to transact and access account details using its own set of API keys and Dashboard.
You can add a sub-merchant from the Curlec Dashboard.
To add a sub-merchant from the Curlec Dashboard:
- Log in to your .
- Click Partner.
- Under the Affiliate Accounts tab, click + Add New Accounts.
- In the input-form, enter the:
- Account Name or the name of the business.
- Account Email address registered in your application. Curlec will send a sign-up link to the specified email.
The newly added sub-merchants will appear on the Partner Dashboard merchant list.
