### **6. FAQs**

#### **a. If Your Document Upload Fails**

If you're unable to upload a document, check that your file meets the following requirements:

- **Supported file formats:** PDF, PNG, JPG, or JPEG
- **Maximum file size:** Less than 15 MB
- **File condition:** The file must not be corrupted and should open normally

If your upload still fails, try re-saving the document in one of the supported formats before uploading it again.

#### **b. Updating Your Business Information**

You can update your business information or resubmit documents after completing your Business Account registration, especially if any information or documents have been rejected.

Please note that making changes may require your information to be reviewed again and could **extend the verification process**.

#### **c. If Your Account Verification Is Unsuccessful**

Your Business Account verification may be unsuccessful if the submitted information is incomplete, incorrect, or if the required documents are missing or invalid.

If further information or documents are required, please update and resubmit them accordingly.

**Important:** While your Business Account verification remains incomplete, settlement of your funds may be temporarily withheld to comply with applicable **Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CTF)** requirements. Settlement will remain on hold until the required information and documents have been successfully submitted and verified.

#### **d. Check Your Verification Status**

You can check the status of your Business Account directly from the DOKU Dashboard:

1. Log in to your **DOKU Dashboard**.
2. Your current **Business Account (Merchant) status** will be displayed at the top of the Dashboard.

If your status shows **“Under Review”**, your Business Account is still undergoing verification.

Once your Business Account has been successfully verified, the status section will no longer be displayed on the Dashboard.

#### **e. Using One Business Account for Multiple Websites**

You can use one Business Account for multiple website domains, provided that:

- All domains are declared in your business information; and
- The domains belong to or are associated with the **same registered business entity**.

If you add a new website or domain later, remember to update your business information accordingly.
