merchant_pending

HTTP status: 403 Forbidden. Retrying the same request unchanged fails the same way.

Why it happens

• In live, Nowgate activates each new account after sign-up; until then its API keys can't be used.

What to do

Wait for the email that says the account is active. The dashboard shows the account's status meanwhile.

Example

The response is application/problem+json. Branch on code, never on title or detail. See errors for the format.
