Onboarding Businesses
The structure of Tap's Marketplace model is built on Destinations, each Business under your Marketplace should have a destination_id
. This page guides you through creating a destination_id
by onboarding your Businesses.
For onboarding steps described on this page, you need to use the Marketplace Keys provided by Tap.
Step 1: Uploading KYC documents
Before you begin, you need to identify the Business's entity type. Tap supports two types of entities:
- Corporate
- Individual
You need to provide the required KYC documents, in order to get approval for your Business's account. The minimum KYC requirements depend on the entity type and the country of the Business. You are able to get the KYC requirements from your Account Manager.
For each document, you need to make a File API request. You'll receive a file_id
for each file you upload, which you'll use in creating a business.
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.tap.company/v2/files' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer sk_test_BPmcTgEfuK1dHslMaLGY42Ry' \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--header 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---011000010111000001101001' \
--form 'file=""' \
--form 'purpose="identity_document"' \
--form 'title="Commercial License "' \
--form 'expires_at="1913743462"' \
--form 'file_link_create="true"'

}
]
}
Step 2: Creating a Business
After uploading all KYC documents, you need to make a businessrequest in order to generate a
destination _id` for your Business.
- Specify the
type
based on your Business entity type. If it is a licensed business settype
to "corp", otherwise set it to "indv". legal_name
should be the same as the Business name on the commercial registration or license.- Specify the sector of your Business, you can choose the suitable sector after connecting with your Account Manager.
- In the
images
object, specify thefile_id
you received in the first step.
