If you already have a Merchant Account and one of our supported Payment Gateways, then you can begin using Chargify immediately. Just input your payment gateway credentials into the Chargify setup tab and you’re ready to start billing.

If you don’t have either of these items, then contact one of the brokers on our Merchant Accounts page. They can usually get you fully set up within a week.

If you interested in testing Chargify, you can sign up for our developer plan. This will allow you to make sure Chargify works for you before investing in a real merchant account and payment gateway. Test with our "fake gateway" while you build your software.
