You need to sign up with any of the member banks to use KNET payment gateway in your website. After successful signup, merchants have to go a certification process to ensure the successful integration of the gateway with the website. The certification process takes maximum 2 weeks of testing. Apart from this certification, merchants have to obtain a digital certificate from any authorities. After the certification, KNET notifies the acquiring bank with the result and the date from when the merchant can start using KNET payment gateway.
