# Create processing account

`POST /merchant-platforms/{merchantPlatformId}/processing-accounts`

Use this method to add an additional processing account to a merchant platform.  

To add a processing account to a merchant platform, you need the merchantPlatformId. Our gateway returned the merchantPlatformId in the response of the [Create Merchant Platform](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/merchant-platforms/create) method.  

**Note**: If you don't have the merchantPlatformId, use our [List Merchant Platforms](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/merchant-platforms/list) method to search for the merchant platform.  

In the request, include the following information:  
- Business details, including its business type, time zone, and address.  
- Owners' details, including their contact details.  
- Funding, pricing, and processing information, including its pricing model and funding accounts.  
- Additional forms that you need us to send to the merchant, for example, attestations and questionnaires.

When you send a successful request, we review the information about the processing account. After we complete our review and approve the processing account, we assign a processingAccountId, which you need to perform follow-on actions.  

**Note**: You can subscribe to our processingAccount.status.changed event to get notifications when we update the status of a processing account. For more information about how to subscribe to events, go to [Events List](https://docs.payroc.com/knowledge/events/events-list).
