Creating A New Business (No Merchant Data)
Access Endpoint URL: https://rest.everyware.com/api/Default/CreateNewBusiness [POST]
You can use the CreateNewBusiness method to rapidly create a business entity in Everyware that does not have any merchant or payment services attached. It can be used for two way text messaging, and many other features built into the Everyware Portal System. The two-way text messaging feature will be available as soon as the new mobile number is assigned.
Payments can be activated and integrated after providing the appropriate merchant account details to your Everyware Account Manager.
