Şekerbank Sanal POS
Şekerbank has built its brand outside Turkey's big Istanbul-centric banks, with deep roots in Anatolian towns, tradesmen, and agriculture. A Şekerbank sanal POS on your sell link puts a familiar name in front of that buyer base.
About Şekerbank
Founded in 1953
Şekerbank started in Eskişehir as a bank holding the savings of sugar-beet farmer cooperatives. That small-town, agricultural origin still shapes where its branch network is strongest.
Headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey
The head office has been in Istanbul since 2004.
Publicly listed since 1997
Şekerbank shares have traded on Borsa Istanbul since 1997. Its shareholders include institutional investors, the bank's own employee pension foundation, and the International Finance Corporation.
Community banking, Anatolia-first
Şekerbank runs around 239 branches across 8 regional directorates and 67 provinces, with roughly seven in ten branches located in Anatolia rather than the big three cities — useful reach for sellers whose buyers aren't concentrated in Istanbul, Ankara, or Izmir.
How to apply for a Şekerbank sanal POS
1. Gather your business documents
Typical requirements are a tax registration certificate (vergi levhası), a trade registry gazette extract, a signature circular (imza sirküleri), and an IBAN for settlement. Because a sanal POS is for online sales, Şekerbank — like other Turkish banks — will also want to see a website with clear terms of sale, a refund policy, and contact details before approving you.
2. Apply through the SME/merchant channel or a branch
Şekerbank publishes a dedicated sanal POS application page for e-commerce merchants (Esnaf & KOBİ services), and you can also start the application at any branch if you already bank with them.
3. Sign the merchant agreement
The üye işyeri (merchant) agreement covering your virtual POS sets your rates and settlement terms directly with Şekerbank. TinyVendor has no part in that agreement — it's between you and the bank.
4. Wait for review
Approval times vary with document completeness and the bank's queue — in general, expect anywhere from a few business days to a couple of weeks.
5. Receive your sanal POS credentials
Once approved, Şekerbank issues a Client ID (merchant/terminal ID), a Store Key, and an API username and password from the virtual POS panel. These four values are exactly what TinyVendor asks for when you connect the gateway.
Selling with Şekerbank on TinyVendor
1. Add Şekerbank as a gateway
In your TinyVendor dashboard, open payment settings and add "Şekerbank (Credit Card)." Enter the Client ID, Store Key, and API username and password from your Şekerbank sanal POS panel. Leave sandbox mode on until you're ready to take a real card.
2. Turn on installments (optional)
If you want to offer Şeker Bonus and other supported cards a taksit plan, switch on installments — TinyVendor works out and displays the available options at checkout, nothing for you to calculate.
3. Create a sell link
Set a title, price, and description for what you're selling. There's no hosted checkout page to design or build — TinyVendor generates the link for you.
4. Share it
Post it, message it, or email it. When a buyer pays, they're taken to Şekerbank's own hosted 3D Secure page to enter their card — card details never touch your server, so you carry no PCI scope.
5. Get paid, see the order
Şekerbank settles funds according to your merchant agreement with the bank, and the completed order — installment plan included, if the buyer chose one — shows up in your TinyVendor dashboard right away. The whole flow works from a phone, no coding required.
