Create an account
Sign up on the sandbox portal and start testing in minutes.
To use Zoorya Pay you need a merchant account. Start with a sandbox account: it takes a few minutes, needs no documents, and lets you build and test with test money. When you are ready for real payments, you create a separate production account and register your business.
