Account Onboarding

Account APIs

Use the Account APIs to onboard sub-merchants.

You can use the Account APIs to create a sub-merchant account. After an account gets created, an account_id is assigned.

You can create, fetch, and update a sub-merchant account using these APIs.

You can try out our APIs on the Razorpay Postman Public Workspace.

Run in Postman
