Acceptor boarding is in Beta and not ready for production integration.
To onboard a new acceptor to Tesouro, you’ll use a series of GraphQL mutations to create and submit an application. The flow is flexible — you can either submit a fully completed application in a single request or progressively build the application over multiple steps.
A developer at Clearpath Payments is using Tesouro’s acquiring API to board Maple Street Coffee as a new sub-merchant acceptor. They need to create an acceptor application that includes the business details, stakeholder information, and bank account details before Maple Street Coffee can begin processing transactions.

Submit for underwriting
