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.
Ben runs a mechanical keyboard business and wants to start accepting payments through Tesouro. He needs to create an acceptor application that includes his business details, stakeholder information, and bank account details before he can begin processing transactions.

Submit for underwriting

Once all required data is in place, submit the application via submitAcceptorApplication. See Submit an application.
