How Cashfree merchant verification works

Store visibility and payment activation are separate.

Step 1

Create and verify your own merchant account through Cashfree’s official process. Requirements depend on business type and provider policy.

Step 2

Check which payment services are available to your verified business account.

Step 3

Keep payment-account passwords and security details private. Never send them in a support message.

Step 4

Check Cashfree’s account requirements and fee schedule before completing your payment setup.

What this looks like in an ordinary working day.

“My shop is visible, but payments are still waiting for provider verification.”

That can be a correct, honest state. Shop visibility and payment-account approval have different requirements. Follow the provider’s current account-verification process for your business type. MakeMyWeb does not guarantee approval or a verification timeline.

A checklist you can use beside the form.

  1. Identify the account owner and business type.
  2. Complete the provider’s required verification.
  3. Confirm the supported connection method.
  4. Keep your payment-account password and security details private.
  5. Check that the provider confirms a payment before preparing a paid order.

Before you share your product.

Save a draft while the details are changing. Before publishing, read the product as a customer would: what is included, what it costs, which choices matter and what happens next.

If you need help, describe what you wanted to do, the page you were on and what happened. You do not need technical vocabulary. Leave passwords, provider keys and private customer details out of the message.

A good next step

Your next customer shouldn’t have to wait for your website.

Create your store. Add a product. Share a link.
