• Fraud risks
• Processing times

The Merchant Portal is a secure dashboard where store owners and developers manage their Pay-by-Bank integration. It is essential for setting up and managing payments.

Why Do You Need to Register?

1. App Activation – The Pay-by-Bank app requires a Merchant Account.
2. Payment Management – View transactions and track real-time payments.
3. Live Payment Setup – To activate live payments, you must submit your company details, bank account and directors / owners information.
4. Security & Compliance – Ensures that all payments comply with banking regulations.
5. Seamless Integration – The portal connects directly to Shopify, allowing smooth payment processing.

Without registering in the Merchant Portal, you won’t be able to fully activate and use the Pay-by-Bank app.

Yes, as a developer, you can create multiple accounts in the Merchant Portal to manage different stores or clients.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Each account must be linked to a unique email address – You need a separate email for each merchant account.
2. You can register accounts on behalf of merchants – If setting up for a client, you can use your email and later transfer ownership via our support team.
3. Easily switch between accounts – If you manage multiple stores, you can log in and out to access different merchant accounts.
4. Live payment activation requires merchant details – While you can set up accounts, the store owner’s company and banking details must be submitted for live payments.

With Pay-by-Bank, payments are transferred instantly to your account. Since funds are received directly, refunds are not automated and must be handled manually by the merchant.

Steps to Process a Refund:

1. Receive a Refund Request – When a customer requests a refund, confirm the refund eligibility based on your store’s policy.
2. Collect Customer’s Bank Account Details – Ask the customer for their bank account number and relevant details to process the refund.
3. Initiate a Manual Bank Transfer – Use your banking system to send the refund amount back to the customer’s bank account.
4. Confirm with the Customer – Notify the customer once the refund has been processed and provide a transaction reference if needed.

Important Notes:
✅ Refunds are not automated and must be processed manually by the merchant.
✅ Ensure the correct bank details are provided by the customer.
✅ Refund times depend on the bank’s processing speed but usually take 1-2 business days.
✅ If you need assistance, contact Wallid support.

An instant refund is when money goes directly from the merchant’s account back to the customer’s bank account in under 3 minutes. Unlike card or PayPal refunds (which can take 3–10 business days), Pay-by-Bank refunds are real-time, final, and reconciled automatically.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Log in to your Shopify dashboard.
2. Go to Orders and select the order you want to refund.
3. Scroll down to Timeline and find the line:
4. “A £XX.XX GBP payment was processed on Wallid: Pay by Bank.”
5. Click the arrow to open payment details.
6. Copy the Payment ID (e.g. rnCReIFdoT6FtaA5FQdpnYP6W).
7. Go to the Wallid Merchant Portal → Transactions.
8. Paste the Payment ID in the search bar and open the transaction.
9. Press Refund and choose full or partial refund.
10. Select the bank account you want to send the refund from.
11. Confirm Transfer → refund is processed and reaches the customer in <3 minute

👉 This ensures refunds are real-time, final, and reconciled automatically, without delays or card network dependencies.

Standard fee: 1% + £0.25 per transaction.
High-volume stores may qualify for 0.7% + £0.25.

👉 Fees are always transparent and confirmed during onboarding.

Yes. Unlike card refunds (which are batched and delayed), Wallid refunds appear in your merchant dashboard in real time, fully reconciled.

Reconciliation is the process of matching payments and refunds with orders in your accounting. With cards or PayPal, reconciliation is often slow, aggregated, and unclear. With Wallid Pay-by-Bank:

• Each order is instantly settled into your bank account.
• Your bank statement shows WALLID {Bank Reference}.
• No batch payouts, no hidden processor reports.

👉 Your bank statement becomes your ledger — clean and simple.

Yes. Wallid provides CSV reconciliation reports where every transaction is already matched to its Shopify Payment Order ID.

1. Go to the Wallid Merchant Portal → Transactions.
2. Press Download and export all payments processed via Wallid.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Log in to your Shopify dashboard and filter orders by Wallid.
2. Export the list of processed orders for the selected period.
3. Go to the Wallid Merchant Portal → Transactions.
4. Press Download and export all payments processed via Wallid for the same period.
5. Log in to your business bank account and export your bank statement for that period.
6. Filter the statement by entries containing “WALLID” as a reference.
7. Compare the three datasets:

• Shopify orders processed with Wallid
• Transactions exported from the Wallid Merchant Portal
• Settlements in your bank account (marked as WALLID {Bank Reference}
• All three should match exactly — order by order, payment by payment, refund by refund.

👉 This ensures reconciliation is instant, transparent, and accurate — no third-party processor reports, no batch settlement delays.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Log in to your Shopify dashboard.
2. Go to Orders and select the order you want to track.
3. Scroll down to Timeline and find the line:
4. “A £XX.XX GBP payment was processed on Wallid: Pay by Bank.”
5. Click the arrow to open payment details.
6. Copy the Payment ID (e.g. rnCReIFdoT6FtaA5FQdpnYP6W).
7. Go to the Wallid Merchant Portal → Transactions.
8. Paste the Payment ID in the search bar and open the transaction.
9. Copy the Bank Reference shown in the transaction details.
10. Log in to your business bank account and search for that Bank Reference.

• The payment will appear as: WALLID {Bank Reference}.

👉 This way, you can trace any Shopify order directly to the exact payment in your bank account with no delays or mismatches.
