Anyone selling a digital product or service, from a solo builder to an established SME. This includes: * SaaS (personal or business) * Online courses and video content * Downloadable software and video games * Digital templates, graphics, and newsletters * eBooks and information services * Other digital goods or services You can apply as an individual (solo founders, entrepreneurs, individual builders) or as a company, including a single-member company. Applying as an individual doesn't require registering a business. ### What isn't supported yet? Physical products that require shipping and returns aren't a fit for PingBusiness today. Instant USDC settlement to a self-custodial account doesn't support the traditional clawback mechanics that physical-goods refund and return flows rely on. **This is worth knowing before you set up - PingBusiness is built for digital delivery first, for now.** ### How long does approval take? The application itself takes about five minutes to complete. After you submit, identity verification (KYC) happens, then your application is reviewed by the PingBusiness team before approval. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://pingbusiness.gitbook.io/pingbusiness/getting-started/application-guidelines.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
