uP IDs

All users on the uP Platform are provided with an uP ID type at the time of their account creation. The uP Path solution uses five uP ID types;

uP Partner ID​

Payments Partner System customer types are provided with a unique uP Partner ID. uP Partner IDs are formatted with the prefix "PID" (ex. PID-1234567). In the uP Path solution, the uP Partner ID is used for setting up a client's SFTP access (if required); it is also used to identify reports and to associate merchants with their Payments Partner System.

uP Account ID​

Merchants that have been onboarded to the uP Platform by a Payments Partner System, are each provided a unique uP Account ID.

NOTE

Merchants that are onboarded to the uP Platform via a Payments Partner System through NomuPay's merchant onboarding API will first be assigned an uP POM Account ID. The uP POM Account ID is what is used to identify a merchant of a Payments Partner System during the risk and underwriting process. Once a merchant of a Payments Partner System has been fully approved, the uP POM Account ID will automatically transition into the uP Account ID variable.

The uP Account ID is formatted with the prefix "EID" (ex. EID-1234567). This ID is referenced whenever an action related to the merchant of a Payments Partner System occurs on the uP Platform.

uP Recipient ID​

Every recipient (i.e. merchant) that you plan to disburse funds to must first be onboarded to the uP Platform. During this process, each recipient will be assigned a unique uP Recipient ID. uP Recipient IDs are formatted with the prefix "SID" (SID-123456). As with your uP Account ID, uP Recipient IDs are referenced in batch files and uP API calls.

The uP Payouts solution supports two uP Recipient ID profile types:

An uP Recipient ID is assigned to one of the following types of payout beneficiaries:

  • Partnership

  • Public company

  • Private company

  • Not-for-profit

  • Government entity

You can learn more about the uP Recipient ID and how to onboard recipients in the Recipients portion of the uP API Payout References of the uP API.

uP Transfer Method ID​

Every unique transfer method that is associated with a recipient on the uP Platform is assigned an uP Transfer Method ID. uP Transfer Method IDs are formatted with the prefix "TRM" (TRM-123456). As with your uP Account ID and uP Recipient IDs, uP Transfer Method IDs are referenced in batch files and uP API calls. We will explain the available Transfer Methods in detail in the Transfer types and methods section.

uP Payment ID​

Every payout that is initiated on the uP Platform is assigned an uP Payment ID. uP Payment IDs are formatted with the prefix "PMT" (PMT-123456). As with your uP Account ID, uP Recipient IDs and uP Transfer Method IDs, uP Payment IDs are referenced in batch files and uP API calls.
