Registering with PayU

Registering with PayU is a straightforward process that involves just a few simple steps. As part of the registration, we will collect essential information about your organization. Once you initiate the registration process, you will promptly receive an email granting you access to the Management Panel. Within this Panel, you'll have the convenience to configure your account and seamlessly resume the registration, even if it gets interrupted for any reason.

To initiate the registration process, either go to the production or sandbox registration page. You can also contact your PayU partner or sales representative.

After successfully creating an account with PayU, you will gain access to the management panel specific for the environment you registered in. You can then log in to your production or sandbox account.

Notes

To test your integration with PayU, it is highly recommended to use the sandbox environment. However, if you decide to conduct integration testing in a production environment, there are some important considerations.

Your account will not be fully active until it undergoes the verification process. During this verification period, certain features or functionalities may be limited or restricted.

To ensure a seamless experience for your users and to avoid any disruptions, it's essential to complete the verification process promptly. Once the verification is successfully completed, your account will be fully active, and you can confidently proceed with live transactions in the production environment.

Paying Activation Fee

Registration with PayU requires paying a registration fee. You can check pricelist on our business page.

You can pay for the activation of PayU services with a quick transfer - the same as for online shopping. It is important to note that the transfer must be made from a business account (in the case of a sole proprietorship, the owner's private account is accepted).

During the registration process, you will encounter the payment screen, where you can proceed with the quick transfer. Alternatively you can choose to pay later using the Management Panel (option Activation Transfer in the Registration tab). The activation transfer is necessary for PayU to start analyzing your organization's data.

If the fast transfer option is not available for your bank, select the traditional transfer option by clicking the Not My Bank button. Also select the traditional transfer option if you have a business account with one of the following banks:

• ING (for sole traders only),
• Millennium,
• Crédit Agricole (for sole traders only),
• BOŚ,
• Bank Nowy BFG S.A (for sole traders only),
• Noble Bank,
• Banki Spółdzielcze,
• Plus Bank.

Conducting Verification Transaction

To complete the account verification, you need to conduct the first actual transaction in the public version of your service. The total transaction limit during verification is 2,500. Once this is done, your account will be fully verified and ready for regular use.

Notes

During the verification process, the transaction has a status of waiting for collection.

Do not send out orders before the status of the transaction is changed to ended.

Next, you need to configure your account in the management panel as described in Management Panel section.
