+Notes – Airtime Merchant & Dealer Platform
+ 
+1. Dealer Setup & Visibility
+Add a dealer table visible to merchants after registration.
+Merchants should be able to view and contact multiple dealers.
+Merchants are not restricted to one dealer.
+Dealers should be able to self-register on the platform.
+Dealers can onboard/register merchants on their behalf if needed.
+ 
+2. Merchant Registration Flow
+Enable self-registration for both merchants and dealers.
+Registration should be simple to encourage sign-ups.
+ 
+3. API Access
+Dealers to be provided with API access to support higher volumes and automation.
+API availability is a strong incentive for dealers.
+ 
+4. Account Activation & Payments
+Consider integrating mobile money and/or bank payments.
+Merchants may activate accounts instantly by purchasing airtime, which becomes their account balance.
+This is not an activation fee; it helps validate genuine users and reduce dummy accounts.
+ 
+5. Activation Policy
+Activation should not be mandatory at registration.
+Merchants can register first and activate later.
+Send periodic reminders to unactivated accounts.
+Accounts with no activity after 1–2 weeks may be removed after sufficient notifications.
+6. Growth Strategy
+Priority is to maximize merchant onboarding while maintaining platform quality.
+Use soft enforcement (reminders) rather than hard restrictions.
