How to Create a New Merchant

Creating a merchant account in Cadmium Payments allows organizations to manage online payment transactions securely and efficiently. This process involves selecting a payment processor, entering API credentials, and linking the processor to Cadmium’s payment system. 

Steps to Create a New Merchant Account

1.  Log in to the Cadmium Payments platform using your authorized credentials. For more information on how to access Cadmium Payments, refer to the article Accessing Cadmium Payments.
2. On the Merchant Accounts page, select New. This action will open the Enter Access PIN screen. 

3. Enter the 6-digit Access PIN associated with your account. If the PIN is correct, the Add Merchant Account page will open. 
4. In the Label field, enter a clear and descriptive name for the merchant account. This label will appear in the dropdown list of available merchants for each product. 

5. Select the desired payment processor from the Processor dropdown menu. This list includes all available and supported processors within Cadmium Payments. 
6. Select Submit to proceed. You will be redirected to a configuration page where additional processor-specific details are required. 
7. Provide the API credentials required by your chosen payment processor. The fields displayed will vary depending on the processor type.

8. After entering the required credentials, select Submit. You will be redirected back to the Merchant Accounts page, where your newly created merchant account will appear in the list.
9.  Return to the relevant Cadmium application and select the new merchant account as the payment processor for your event.

Once a merchant account is configured, it can be edited or deleted if necessary. Deleting a merchant account will not remove past transactions — they remain visible in Cadmium Payments and across all Eventscribe applications.
