Onboarding Flow with Pre-Screening

The PXP Financial Onboarding system offers an additional service to the partners which is called: Pre-Screening.

Instead of directly posting all mandatory merchant data and documents, only a small subset of the data can be sent with the POST /prescreen-merchants request to the PXP Financial Onboarding System. Some automated checks will be done and the merchant receives information if he should our should not proceed with the full merchant application (see first chapter above).

1. Call POST /prescreen-merchants and submit a small subset of merchant and shop information e.g. shop-URL. The onboarding system automatically checks if the merchant should be immediately declined and if not if he qualifies for the fast onboarding process.

In case of an automatic approval the system will return the ID of the created preScreenMerchant/Shop elements and additionally the response contains information about the calculated CDD-Level and if the merchant qualifies for fast onboarding. PreScreenMerchant.state = Approved, customerDueDiligenceLevel = SoleTrader or Standard, isQualifiedForFastOnboarding = true or false. Partner can continue with posting the full merchant application data, see Onboarding Flow for details.

In case of a decline, the response will contain the relevant error messages.

The IDs of the created preScreenMerchant/Shop elements should be stored in the Partner System and have to be transmitted in the POST /merchants or POST /shops request together with the other merchant and shop data, so that the PXP Financial System can verify that the pre-screening has been approved before.
