Preferred Currency
2. Set up Microsoft Payment Central Profile
After the payment information is provided within the portal, the listed Payment Central Contact will receive an email invitation to create your organization’s profile in Microsoft Payment Central (the email is valid for 30 days)
Your Payment Central contact will need to complete the online form with:
Organization’s contact info (business name, address, primary contact email/phone)
Business profile questionnaire (compliance info)
