Getting started
To get started receiving payments with Viva Wallet is fairly straightforward:
1. Register and log in
There are two types of account, one capable of creating ‘pseudo’ transactions and the other one dealing with real money.

If you need to try out our payment functionality in a test environment first, sign up for a demo merchant account. This is an exact replica of production.
No actual payments can be made within this environment but you can use the test cards, below, to make demo payments of 30p or more.
