kevin. dashboard for easy self-onboarding
Becoming a kevin. client has never been easier. We launched an improved client self-onboarding dashboard that allows companies to start testing and using kevin. payment initiation service quickly. Self-onboarding is entirely online, meaning users can save time and human resources by onboarding whenever convenient.
The dashboard allows users not only to begin onboarding to become a kevin. client but also set up shops and test the payment environment while the onboarding is in progress.
Companies can also track and filter all the transactions in the payment dashboard. The payment overview helps businesses stay on top of client transactions and provides essential payment data.
This quick start guide will explain how to start onboarding with kevin.’s self-service dashboard, list its advantages, and suggest what information company representatives will need for the onboarding process.
Getting started
To begin using kevin. payment infrastructure, start by setting up an account. Use the contact us form to tell us about your business needs. Our team will then review your information and send you a sign-up link.
When creating an account, you'll need to define your role - are you the head of a legal entity or a representative? If you're the head of your organization, you'll need to verify your identity. If you’re a representative, you can fill out all the onboarding information on behalf of the head of the legal entity. However, the head of the organization will still have to sign all the agreements.
When you access the dashboard for the first time, you have two options:
- Begin the onboarding by entering your company details and creating a company profile.
- Test the payment flow by creating a shop in a sandbox environment. You can start testing before onboarding or while waiting for compliance review.
Once you’re onboarded, you’ll see a third option on the dashboard homepage: Payments.
First, let’s walk you through creating a company profile.
Creating a company profile
To start the know your customer (KYC) process, first enter your company details. Each question has an explanation for guidance, which you can see by hovering over the information icon next to the question.
In this section, you’ll be asked to select the main details about your company, such as the country of tax residence, which kevin. services you’re interested in and who owns the company.
Following up, you’ll be requested to enter information about your company, such as company name, type, and code. Continue to type in the company address. Moving on, you’ll be asked to fill out the questions about the head of the company and upload additional information.
While filling out the questionnaire, you can track your progress on the progress bar next to the form. Before submitting the company information, you can review and edit the data.
Once the review is complete, you’ll be notified by email and on the dashboard homepage. To proceed, the company's owner will be asked to sign the agreement.
After the agreement is signed, you have successfully onboarded.
Creating a shop for testing
You can create a shop and start testing the payments before you start the KYC process or while waiting for the KYC compliance to be reviewed.
Select ‘Add shop’ on the dashboard homepage to create your first shop.
You’ll be asked to enter your website URL. Then, you’ll need to fill out the business bank account details and upload proof of ownership.
Moving on, you’ll be requested to enter additional details, such as customer support email, privacy policy URL, return policy web address, etc. Most of these fields are optional.
Before submitting the shop information, you can review and edit the details to make sure the information is accurate.
While the shop is undergoing the compliance assessment, you can access API documentation and learn more about the integration process. You can also generate test API keys and use them in the sandbox environment. Once the shop’s review is successful, you’ll be able to go live, and the same test API keys will be used in production.

Payment dashboard
Once onboarded, kevin. clients gain access to kevin. payment dashboard. The dashboard allows companies to overview all the payments conveniently. It also enables searching for specific transactions based on the order ID or filtering payments by their status and other parameters. All the information can be extracted as a .csv file.
The dashboard displays payment status (started, pending, completed, failed), payment amount, website URL, payment flow (bank, redirect), method and transaction date. Each transaction can be viewed separately, which enables users to see more detailed information about the payment, such as refund details (if the service is activated) and status.
