Get Started with BizFirst for Merchants in 5 Simple Steps
- Sign up: Visit the BizFirst website and create a new account using your official email address. [Note: Please use your business email address and not a personal one, since you will not be able to change it later, and all analytics and reports will be available by default on the email provided.]
2. Create a BizFirst Wallet: After signing up, create a BizFirst Wallet to accept USDC payments. This is an on-chain wallet on the Solana Blockchain being created. Save the 12-word seed phrase in order to recover or use this wallet via any Solana Wallet like Phantom Wallet/Sky Wallet. Remember, you will always be able to access and transfer your assets via BizFirst.
3. Subscribe to BizFirst: For merchants, the cost is 10 USDC + 0.5% transaction fee. Important to note: The fee will be charged on the 30th day of your usage and only if you’ve accepted USDC using BizFirst.
4. Integrate BizFirst with your Store: You’ll then reach the BizFirst home screen. Follow the provided instructions on the top-most banner to integrate BizFirst PAY into your WooCommerce store, enabling you to accept USDC payments from customers.
