CCAvenue Simplifies and Enhances Its Merchant On-boarding Process

Seamless onboarding is turning into a strategic differentiator in the digital payments industry. With the simplification and automation of our merchant onboarding process, CCAvenue has increased the speed of on-boarding merchants considerably while still following proper due diligence and risk evaluation to help protect the financial ecosystem.

The traditional on-boarding process for merchants was time-consuming and labour-intensive. In order to overcome these challenges, CCAvenue streamlined the merchant onboarding process taking into consideration the guidelines of the regulator, industry best practices, recommendations of banking partners and most of all, our 20 years of experience of on-boarding and managing countless merchants on our system.

CCAvenue has introduced the one-click sign-up process comprising Information Scrutiny, Document Verification, Due Diligence and Manual Checks. With the new changes set in place, the merchant can go live with us quickly and without hassles.



Our One-Click Sign-up Process:



  • Step 1. Information Scrutiny

    With the help of the email id and mobile number provided, the contact information for the registration is validated and further information is gathered. We also check business details such as information on the products and services offered, their payment collection method, etc. so as to confirm the eligibility of the business for availing our payment gateway services.

  • Step 2. Document Verification

    While the above evaluation is in progress, the merchant can simultaneously update the relevant details for eKYC Verification as listed below:

    i. PAN, GSTIN and Payment Settlement Bank   >   Real-time Verification

    ii. Other KYC Documents   >   Quick and Easy Uploading facility

    iii. Agreement   >   Digital/Aadhaar-based Signature, and Scan & Upload facility



  • Step 3. Due Diligence

    Based on the information gathered in the previous steps, maximum care is taken to approve the merchant based on the risk criteria.

  • Step 4. Manual Checks

    Automating identity checks provides benefits of speed and consistency. However, if the identity information doesn't match records or needs further clarification or confirmation, manual checks are performed. Manual verification processes rely on the additional information procured from the Merchant to validate or justify the details received through Artificial Intelligence.

The streamlining and automation of on-boarding with the latest machine learning and AI methods saves valuable time and efforts of the merchant, while freeing up precious man hours of CCAvenue's internal teams for a more effective deployment of our resources.

Our merchant onboarding process is now faster, easier and frictionless!
