Setting up Payee Accounts

Adding storefront information is the first step in setting up your Reseller storefront. Your storefront information lets us know how to contact you, how to handle your customers’ support issues, and when to send you email notifications.

When you log in to the Reseller Control Center for the first time, you must use the Quick Setup Wizard that displays to enter your storefront information. After initial setup, you can go to the Settings tab to update this information. For more information, see Updating Account Settings for Your Reseller Storefront.
