Onboard your merchant brand on the Pycer Platform and process your first transaction in under five minutes. This guide walks you through signing in to your Pycer portal, configuring a brand, generating API credentials, and completing a test payment.
Developers integrating directly via REST API can also jump straight to the Developer Portal & API Quickstart.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:
  • An active Pycer Merchant / Developer Account at https://pycer.quantivogroup.com/login
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) app ready (if enabled on your organization account)
  • About 5 minutes to complete brand and rail activation

Step 1: Sign in to the Pycer Portal

Open your browser and sign in to the Pycer Console:
1

Authenticate with your Pycer Account

Navigate to https://pycer.quantivogroup.com/login and enter your registered email address and password. Complete 2FA verification if prompted.
2

Create or select your Merchant Brand

From the top brand switcher, select your active brand or click People → Brands → + New Brand to provision an isolated merchant workspace with its own settlement currency, logo, and ledger.
3

Enable Pycer Financial Rails

Navigate to Gateways & Currencies → Payment Gateways and enable your desired Pycer Direct Rails:
  • Pycer Express Prompt (Instant on-device mobile PIN authorization)
  • Pycer Direct PayBill & Till (C2B merchant collections)
  • Pycer Card Switch (3DS 2.2 Visa / Mastercard acquiring)
  • Pycer Inter-Bank Switch (Real-time bank account transfers)
4

Generate your Developer API Keys

Open Security & Access → Developer Hub (/admin/developer) or API Keys (/admin/api-keys) and click Generate Key. Copy your Bearer API token (read, write, or admin scope) and store it securely.

Step 2: Process your first test payment

You can trigger a payment either through a Hosted Payment Link (no code required) or via the Pycer Merchant REST API.
Create a payment intent or trigger a direct Pycer Express Prompt:
Pycer responds with a unique payment_id and checkout_url, or dispatches an immediate mobile PIN prompt to the customer’s device.

Step 3: Verify settlement in the Double-Entry Ledger

Once the test transaction completes:
  1. Navigate to Payments → Transactions in your Pycer Portal to inspect the completed status and receipt reference.
  2. Open Reports & Finance → Ledger to view the balanced debit and credit journal postings across your merchant escrow and settlement accounts.
  3. Open Security & Access → Developer Hub to inspect the signed payment.completed webhook delivery log (X-Pycer-Signature).
