To register a company (such as a gym) in the SynchPay API, you must create a company entity using the /company/create endpoint. This is the first step in enabling company-related operations within SynchPay. The process involves submitting a registration object, waiting for verification, and then completing additional setup steps. Here’s how it works:
1

Obtain an Access Token

Before calling /company/create, obtain an access token by making a POST request to /auth/token with your ClientId and ClientSecret. Refer to the Authorization section for details.
2

Create a Registration Object

Use the access token to submit the company details via the /company/create endpoint.
3

Wait for KYB Process

After submission, SynchPay performs a Know-Your-Business (KYB) verification, which takes approximately 24 hours.
4

Check Company Status

Use the GET /company/status endpoint to monitor the registration status.
5

Complete Setup

Once approved, SynchPay sends an email with links to connect a bank account via Plaid and access the Backend Portal for managing your account.

​
Registering a Company

The /company/create endpoint allows you to define a company entity by submitting a JSON object containing the company’s details. Below are the specifics of the API call.

Response

Upon successful submission, the endpoint returns a JSON object, likely containing a company identifier or a success message. The exact response format is not specified in the current documentation, so consult the API reference for details. An example might look like: 
{
  "CompanyId": "0ba2d920-7588-407f-8553-afc4f073c9b8"
}

​
Waiting for KYB Process

After submitting the registration object, SynchPay initiates the Know-Your-Business (KYB) process to verify the provided information. This process typically takes up to 24 hours. During this period, the company status remains “Unverified”.

​
Checking Company Status

To monitor the registration status, use the GET /company/{companyId}/status endpoint: The response will indicate the current status (e.g., “Unverified”, “Verified”, or “Rejected”).
Note: For sandbox environment this will always return “Verified”

​
Completing Setup

Once the KYB process is complete and the company is verified, SynchPay sends an email to the EmailAddress provided in the registration. The email includes:
  • Bank Account Connection: A link to connect your bank account via Plaid.
  • Backend Portal Access: A link to the Backend Portal, where you can manage your account, add new account numbers, close accounts, and handle edge cases.
Follow the instructions in the email to finalize your company setup.
