Overview of platforms and sub-accounts

Platforms and sub-accounts are for businesses that need to manage multiple sub-accounts under one platform account. Each sub-account corresponds to a unique sub-merter number that identifies the transaction attribution.

When to use it?

If you only need to access PayCools for a single business, you do not need to create a sub-account; if you need to manage multiple sub-accounts under one platform account and check the transaction status separately, you can use the platform and sub-account.

Relationship of the platform to sub-accounts

All sub-accounts share the App ID and API key of the platform account. When initiating a transaction, the corresponding sub-merchant number needs to be passed in, and PayCools records the transaction attribution. Notification addresses can be configured separately for each sub-account, and the details of each sub-account and its transactions can be viewed on the merchant platform.
