Getting Access to Tylt
Overview
This guide walks you through the steps required to integrate with Tylt, from onboarding to processing your first transaction. Tylt follows a KYB-gated production model with a separate demo environment for integration and testing.
Merchant Onboarding (KYB)
To access Tylt’s production environment, merchants are required to complete onboarding and Know Your Business (KYB) verification. This process includes the submission of company and operational details, a review of the business model and use case, and a compliance and risk assessment.
Upon successful KYB approval, a production account is created, access to the Tylt Dashboard is enabled, and production API keys are issued.
Demo Environment (For Integration & Testing)
To enable faster integration, Tylt provides a demo environment for testing and validation. This environment allows merchants to test core services, including Crypto Payments (CPG), Fiat ↔ Crypto (CrossRamp), and swap functionality, while also simulating transaction flows and validating webhook handling.
Depending on the service being tested, some transactions are fully simulated, while others may require coordination with the Tylt team to facilitate controlled test transactions
Please contact the Tylt team to obtain demo account credentials and enable the required services.
