Cohorts organize pilot sequencing without activation.
Cohort planning groups merchant pilot candidates into Alpha, Beta, and Gamma readiness lanes while all registration, settlement, provider, and credential actions remain disabled.
Cohort Alpha
Smaller readiness-review cohort for merchants with stronger eligibility and support ownership evidence.
Cohort Beta
Planning cohort for merchants that need additional support, market, or onboarding readiness confirmation.
Cohort Gamma
Waitlist cohort for merchants with material readiness blockers or operating-scope dependencies.
Pilot participation follows a human review path.
The merchant pilot program organizes readiness evidence and cohort planning only. It does not create registrations, merchant accounts, settlements, provider access, or production financial services.
Step 1
Assign candidate to readiness lane
Step 2
Review cohort capacity
Step 3
Confirm approval status
Step 4
Document blockers
Step 5
Retain no-activation posture until future approval
Enrollment remains static and non-executing.
The public merchant pilot pages are publication-safe planning surfaces. They do not collect sensitive data, persist submissions, or enable financial activity.
Cohort assignment is illustrative and non-binding.
No merchant accounts are created.
No production provider access or settlement capability is enabled.
