# Accounts & verification

Organizations, team members and payout KYC.

## Developer accounts

Sign up at `dev.southbill.com` with email, Google or GitHub. Your account is separate from any merchant account — the same person can hold both, and sessions are isolated.

## Organization

Every developer account belongs to one organization. The organization owns:

- apps and their listings
- API credentials and webhook endpoints
- sandbox environments
- the payout account and earnings

## Team roles

| Role | Can do |
| --- | --- |
| Owner | Everything, including payouts and deleting the organization |
| Admin | Apps, credentials, environments, team invites |
| Developer | Apps, credentials, sandbox — no payout access |
| Read-only | View dashboards and logs |

Invites are email-based and expire; revoked members lose API access immediately.

## Verification

Verification unlocks **live** mode.

1. **Sandbox**: verification is instant. No documents, no bank account, no real identity check.
2. **Live**: you complete payout onboarding with our payout partner — legal entity, representative identity, and a bank account in a supported country.

While a payout account is `restricted` or `disabled`, publishing and payouts are paused automatically and you receive an in-app notification plus an email reminder until it is resolved.

## Notifications

The bell in the developer dashboard carries anything that needs action: verification requirements, review results, webhook failures, rate-limit warnings and payout events. Critical items are mirrored to email.
