As a platform, you can create an account for yourself or your platform’s vendors.

A vendor account can be created in 3 different ways

• Automatically, by accepting a payment via the Platform Portal.
• Via API (Server-to-Server call).
• Automatically in the first Payin of a new currency.

An account Object will be created automatically for your vendors by UNIPaaS in the first Payin transaction (per vendor per currency) to keep your integration simple.

We recommend you let UNIPaaS manage the account creation automatically, but if you want to bring more control and flexibility into your system, you can use the below methods.

Create a Platform Account

As a platform, you can create an account balance for yourself.

Make a POST /ewallets request to create a new account balance:

cURL

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://sandbox.unipaas.com/platform/ewallets' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <PLATFORM_SECRET_KEY>' \
  --data-raw '{
    "currency": "USD",
    "name": "my usd eWallet"
   }'

In the response, you’ll get the created eWallet object.

eWallet.vendorId won’t be defined, as this method creates a platform account.

Create Platform’s Vendor account

As a platform, you can create an account for your vendor.

Make a POST /vendors/{vendorId}/ewallets request to create a new eWallet:

cURL

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://sandbox.unipaas.com/platform/vendors/{vendorId}/ewallets' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <PLATFORM_SECRET_KEY>' \
  --data-raw '{
    "currency": "USD",
    "name": "my vendor\'s usd eWallet"
   }'

In the response you’ll get the created vendor eWallet object.

eWallet.vendorId will be defined, as this method creates a platform’s vendor account.
