How Long Does it Take To Get Credit Card Payments Approved

[prophetic_desti]

I submitted an online application on Saturday when I set up my store to be able to accept credit cards. I am waiting for approval so my store can go Live. I have not had any communication as to where I am in the process.

Hi, @prophetic_desti!

Thank you for your post. Can you confirm which payment processor you are trying to add to your store? If it's Shopify Payments, it may take several business days for your account to be approved as our team needs to review your information and documentation. If by the end of the week you are still waiting for an update, feel free to get in touch with our live support team through the Help Center and we can check on things for you. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

I did a live chat yesterday. I am fine. I didn’t delete the password required on my page. All is well and my store is open.

Hi, @prophetic_desti!

That's great to hear, thanks for letting me know. If you haven't already, I recommend checking out our store launch checklist. There's a lot of planning that goes into starting a Shopify store and this checklist can help ensure you don't miss any important details before you launch.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
