Merchant Account Setup

Setting up your account to use the merchant backend features of ByteConnect including access to its API.

Step One: ByteWallet

To create a merchant account simply download our ByteWallet. Follow the in-app user registration process. ByteWallet replaces the need for an Authenticator app, insecure emails and passwords. It also comes with a powerful crypto wallet including Bitcoin Lightning support and, depending on jurisdiction, personal and business banking¹ built right in.
