I am making an online marketplace website using WePay API. I created user merchant accounts using provided client_id, client_secret, access_token, and also created Know Your Customer object using endpoint('account/kyc/create/') it returns me kyc_id but when I make a call to endpoint('account/kyc/authorize/') passing given kyc_id it gives me the following response Response: "This app does not have permission to access this endpoint". Why I am not supposed to access this endpoint. Although I am passing the correct App client_id, client_secret, access_token and making this call on the staging environment. How to add permission to my app to make this call successful?

The default way to collect KYC information for your user is by using WePay's embedded iframe.

From https://www.wepay.com/developer/facilitate_withdrawals/embedded-withdrawals :

There are two steps for embedding the withdrawal flow in an iframe:

The merchant will be shown a flow where they will verify their identity, add their bank account information...

If you want to complete KYC via APIs, your app must explicitly be given permission to use the account/kyc/authorize endpoint. Please contact your account manager at WePay. If you don't have one, you can submit a permission request here: https://support.wepay.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

  • Thanks a lot for the answer, I submitted the permission request. One more thing I want to know that it is mandatory to register a user and then create their merchant account in that user profile or simply create sub-merchant accounts in application profile??? – Majid Jun 02 '17 at 09:27

    @Majid I'm not sure if it is absolutely mandatory, but it is highly recommended that you create new users and merchant accounts for each of your customers. – y2chaits Jun 13 '17 at 22:43
