“Zip has declined your merchant application.”

What they don’t tell you here is that your Zip Payments application is subject to an approval process.?? Here’s the reply I got:

Thanks for your application.    

Hey Zip Partner,

Due to our risk policy Zip has unfortunately declined your merchant application.

Any application for a Merchant Services Facility from a retailer or business is treated on a stand-alone basis, reviewed against our commercial risk policies, and is at Zip’s discretion after this review.

Some of the criteria that were considered as part of your application process include:     Length of time you have been in business (min. 6 months)     Annual business turnover     Your credit history     Operational website and website traffic     The types of products and services you provide to your customers     Shipping and refund policies (products must be delivered within 14 days)   We are unable to support Partners selling pre-paid services or selling to other businesses only. We wish you luck in your future endeavours.

Best regards,

-The Zip Team

How can you get the plugin to work if they reject your merchant application? You can’t, because then they won’t give you the required API key.

More of a problem with the onboarding/vetting process than the plugin.
But still. They don’t make it easy.

Who knows why.
No reason given.

My guess is that zip discriminates against the financially poor.???♂?
Because it seems that they only want to do B2B with the 1%ers (massive already well-established retailers like JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks & Bunnings). The plugin shouldn’t even be in the wordpress directory in that case. The whole point of www.ads-software.com is that it is open-source, open to all.

Discriminating against buyers is one thing.
(as some don’t always pay, sure, understandable)
Discriminating against sellers is quite another…

Do you really think I’m going to … not deliver my art to someone who buys it? Really?

Easier to set up Klarna, AfterPay.???♂?
