Step 01

Share a recent statement

Use the organization invitation or merchant review page to tell us about your current processor, equipment, payment mix, and recent processing costs.

What to expect: You can save your progress and upload a statement privately; sensitive bank and identity details are requested only in the official provider application later.

Step 02

Receive a confidential review

Congregation Commerce reviews the statement and prepares an approved, merchant-safe result for you. The review is based on your business and payment mix.

What to expect: A proposal view or download is information only; it does not commit you to anything.

Step 03

Keep your familiar workflow

Where compatible with the approved setup, your preferred equipment, payment methods, deposits, and day-to-day checkout routine may remain familiar.

What to expect: Final equipment, funding, security, rates, and approval depend on provider review and the setup you accept.

Step 04

Choose your next step

After an approved result is ready, choose Continue, Decline, or Decide later. Your choice is yours and is recorded as a clear lifecycle milestone.

What to expect: You can decide only from your own verified account after an approved merchant-visible result is ready.
