Sign Up

Mercurie accounts are free to create. You only pay when you buy or transfer a subscription. Two ways to start: Google or email and password. Either way, the second step is a short business profile so we can route invoices, tax IDs, and KYC correctly.

Open mercurie.ng and click Sign Up (top-right) — or go straight to /app/signup.

Option 1 — Continue with Google

The fastest path. We use Google's standard OAuth consent screen and only request email and profile scopes — we never read your mail, calendar, or Drive.

Click Continue with Google.
Pick the Google account you want associated with this Mercurie tenant. Most teams use a shared finance address (e.g. billing@yourcompany.com) rather than a personal Gmail.
On Google's consent screen, click Continue to grant the email + profile scopes.
You land on the Mercurie account-set-up wizard with Step 1 already ticked (we got your name and email from Google).

Why use a shared finance email? Mercurie sends invoices, renewal reminders, and KYC requests to the email on the account. A personal Gmail works, but if that person leaves, you'll need to transfer ownership. Better: create the account on a shared address from day one.

Option 2 — Continue with email

Use this if your finance team doesn't have a Google Workspace account, or if you want a stable shared inbox that isn't tied to anyone's identity.

Click Continue with email.
Enter your full name, work email address, and a strong password (at least 8 characters, mixed case, one number).
Click Continue. We send a 6-digit verification code to that email.
Open the inbox, copy the code, paste it back into Mercurie, and click Verify.
Step 1 is now complete — Mercurie advances you to the business-profile step below.

Step 2 — Business profile

Same step for both paths. We need this to issue valid invoices, run KYC, and route subscriptions to the right entity.

Mercurie account-setup wizard step 2 with fields for Business name, Country, Business category, and Phone number. — FIG 02 · Step 2 — business profile.

Field	What to enter	Why
Business name	The legal name on your CAC (or local equivalent) certificate.	Appears on invoices and Paystack receipts.
Country	Where the business is registered.	Determines accepted payment rails and the tax treatment of your invoices.
Business category	Closest match to your primary line of business.	Used for KYC risk scoring and partner offer eligibility.
Phone number	A reachable mobile number with country code.	Used for transactional alerts (renewal failures, KYC requests) and 2FA.

Tick I accept Mercurie's Terms of service and Privacy Policy. Optionally tick the marketing-email opt-in. Click Submit.

You're done — Mercurie drops you on the dashboard. From here:

Already paying Google or AWS in USD? Jump to Transfer an existing subscription.
Starting fresh? Head to Browse partner offers and pick a plan billed in Naira.
Either way, add a payment method before your first renewal date.

Trouble signing up

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
"Email already in use" on email signup	An older Mercurie account exists on that address — possibly created during a partner offer demo.	Use Sign In instead, or reset the password if you've lost it.
Verification code never arrives	Code routed to spam, or an email gateway dropped it.	Check spam, then click Resend code. If it still doesn't arrive after 5 minutes, try a different inbox or switch to Google sign-in.
Google consent screen says the app is unverified	You're connecting from outside Mercurie's verified Google project.	Don't proceed. Email `support@mercurie.ng` — never grant scopes to a Google consent prompt that doesn't say `mercurie.ng`.
Submit button stays disabled on Step 2	The Terms checkbox is unchecked, or one of the four required fields is empty.	Tick the Terms box and fill every field — Country and Business category must be selected from the dropdowns, not typed.

If you're still stuck, the Support entry on the dashboard sidebar opens a ticket with the Mercurie ops team. Most signup issues are resolved same-day.
