The Companies section allows you to manage and view the entities associated with your WEpayments operation. Depending on your business model, a single account may contain multiple companies, merchants, or operational entities. This structure helps organize balances, transactions, reporting, and payment operations according to your business needs.

​
Why Are Companies Used?

Companies provide a way to separate and manage different entities within the same operational environment. This is particularly useful for:
  • Payment Service Providers (PSPs)
  • Marketplaces
  • Cross-border payment operations
  • Businesses managing multiple legal entities
  • Merchant and sub-merchant structures
Each company may have its own operational information, balances, transactions, and reporting data.

​
The WEpayments company hierarchy

The structure follows a PSP → Merchant → Sub-Merchant/MID model:
LevelDescription
PSP (Payment Service Provider)WEpayments acts as the PSP, providing the payment infrastructure.
Merchant (Main account)Your primary company account. All transactions, balances, and sub-entities are managed from here.
Sub-Merchant / MID (Merchant ID)Sub-accounts under your main merchant account. Useful for managing multiple brands, subsidiaries, or client portfolios.

​
What you can do in the Companies menu

  • View all companies linked to your main account
  • Create and manage sub-merchants (MIDs)
  • Configure settings per company (e.g., payment methods, settlement rules)
  • Monitor balances and transactions at the sub-merchant level
💡 Sub-wallets (sub-portfolios) are often linked to specific sub-merchants. You can filter transactions by payee (split) in reports and statements.
