16.1 Introduction

As part of the website verification process, every merchant must provide proof of domain ownership.
This confirms that the website used during onboarding is officially owned or registered by the same company applying for a Checky Pro account.This step helps prevent fraudulent applications and ensures that all merchants process payments only through domains that belong to their registered business.

Submitting a valid domain invoice or purchase confirmation allows our compliance team to verify ownership quickly and move your onboarding process forward without delay.

​
16.2 Documents required

Your proof of domain must show the company name and the domain provider where the domain was purchased.

he document must be an official invoice or order confirmation, not a screenshot of your website or a WHOIS lookup.
