Sign Up

Create your Mercurie account in under two minutes — sign in with Google or use email, then complete a short business profile.

Sign Up

Mercurie accounts are free to create. You only pay when you buy or transfer a subscription. Two ways to start: Google or email and password. Either way, the second step is a short business profile so we can route invoices, tax IDs, and KYC correctly.

Open mercurie.ng and click Sign Up (top-right) — or go straight to /app/signup.

Mercurie sign-up screen with Continue with Google and Continue with email options.
FIG 01 · Sign-up choice — Google or email.

Option 1 — Continue with Google

The fastest path. We use Google's standard OAuth consent screen and only request email and profile scopes — we never read your mail, calendar, or Drive.

  1. Click Continue with Google.
  2. Pick the Google account you want associated with this Mercurie tenant. Most teams use a shared finance address (e.g. billing@yourcompany.com) rather than a personal Gmail.
  3. On Google's consent screen, click Continue to grant the email + profile scopes.
  4. You land on the Mercurie account-set-up wizard with Step 1 already ticked (we got your name and email from Google).

Why use a shared finance email? Mercurie sends invoices, renewal reminders, and KYC requests to the email on the account. A personal Gmail works, but if that person leaves, you'll need to transfer ownership. Better: create the account on a shared address from day one.

Option 2 — Continue with email

Use this if your finance team doesn't have a Google Workspace account, or if you want a stable shared inbox that isn't tied to anyone's identity.

  1. Click Continue with email.
  2. Enter your full name, work email address, and a strong password (at least 8 characters, mixed case, one number).
  3. Click Continue. We send a 6-digit verification code to that email.
  4. Open the inbox, copy the code, paste it back into Mercurie, and click Verify.
  5. Step 1 is now complete — Mercurie advances you to the business-profile step below.

Step 2 — Business profile

Same step for both paths. We need this to issue valid invoices, run KYC, and route subscriptions to the right entity.

If you're still stuck, the Support entry on the dashboard sidebar opens a ticket with the Mercurie ops team. Most signup issues are resolved same-day.
