The self-integration mode is a mode where Alipay+ Acquiring Service Providers (ACQPs) integrate Alipay+ payment products by themselves. In this mode, the ACQP applies and gets accounts for its employees, for example, developers to log in to [Alipay+ Developer Center](https://developers.alipayplus.com/open/console/developer/aps/app/list.md) for integration.

## Integration process

The integration process consists of the following steps:

1.  [Log in](log_in.md)
2.  [Create an application](create_application.md)
3.  [Develop in the sandbox](develop_in_sandbox.md)
4.  [Conduct sandbox acceptance testing](conduct_sandbox_acceptance_testing.md)
5.  [Launch into production](launch_into_production.md)
6.  Post-launch actions:

-   [Invite merchants for integration testing](invite_merchants.md)
