How to Set Up Your BitGo Account: Individual Business vs. Software Platform
Understanding BitGo Account Types
When setting up your BitGo account, it's important to choose the correct account type to suit your business needs. BitGo offers two primary account types:
Individual Business: This account type is suitable for businesses that primarily use BitGo for their own transactions and payments.
Software Platform: Choose this option if your business not only uses BitGo for its own transactions but also provides BitGo's payment services to other businesses and their users.
Choosing the Right Account Type
If your business model involves supporting other companies to use BitGo's payment services, you should set up your account as a Software Platform. This allows you to manage payments for both your business and the other technology companies using BitGo's services.
For businesses that only need to manage their own payments, an Individual Business account will suffice.
Steps to Create a Software Platform Account
Go to the BitGo website and select "Create Account."
Choose "Software Platform" as your account type.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete your account setup.
