Onboarding and verification. Inside your product, in your brand.
Synapto is the embedded payments partner for UK software platforms and marketplaces. The businesses on your platform sign up for payments inside your product, through a hosted or embedded flow, and the checks run before anyone takes or receives a payment.
Hosted or embedded
Hosted onboarding is a secure flow we run, branded as you, that your product links to. It is the quickest way to start.
Embedded onboarding puts the same steps inside your own screens through components and the API, so a business never leaves your product.
- Branded as your platform
- Hosted flow or components inside your product
- Progress saved, so a business can finish later
- Status back to your system by webhook
What gets checked
Identity
The people who run and own the business, checked against official records.
Ownership
Directors and beneficial owners from Companies House, confirmed by the business.
Bank account
That the payout account belongs to the business.
What they sell
The business's activity, checked against restricted and prohibited categories.
Checks before go-live, not after
The checks happen before a business takes its first payment or receives its first payout, so funds are not held later because something was missed at the start. When anything needs a closer look, a person looks at it and the business is told what is needed.
- Checks before the first payment
- A person reviews anything flagged
- Clear requests, not silent holds
Questions about onboarding
Our regulated acquiring partner, which holds the licences, carries out the checks the rules require. Your platform runs the flow your customers see.
A business can save its progress and come back. Payments and payouts start once the checks are complete.
For hosted onboarding, your developer links to it. For embedded onboarding, your developer adds the components to your screens, with a payments engineer here answering questions while they build.
