Task 6: Submit Quote and Contract(s)

The merchant must submit a signed quote and any contracts before they can go live in Visa Acceptance Solutions. The merchant is not permitted to process in a Visa Acceptance Solutions production environment until they complete this step.

Once Visa Acceptance Solutions receives the signed quote/contract from the merchant, the merchant's account is classified as a Test account rather than an evaluation account.

This step can be optional if the merchant is enabled on your behalf.
