Connect is the account picker a trader opens in the trading app: the built-in providers, plus every listed venue. A venue is listed once it is approved to appear there. Until then its traders can still be pre-registered and can still sign in; what they do not see is your tile.

What a listing shows

Your venue’s name, description and logo. The trader picks your tile, and the login style of the provider behind it decides what happens next: a Rithmic listing asks for the trader’s own Rithmic login with your system name pre-filled; an account you issued on the paper book needs no second login at all.

Set the brand

In the back office, on the Venue card: the name, a short description and a square PNG logo (256 to 1024 pixels, at most 512 KB). Over HTTP the same fields are the signed-in owner’s own routes, GET /api/firm, PUT /api/firm/brand and POST /api/firm/logo; they take the session, never a key. Once saved, the account picker and the account manager show the venue’s name and logo on every account the venue issued or pre-registered, and GET /api/account/list carries the venue’s identity on those accounts. The account number stays visible, and paper stays the API’s broker value for an issued account, because a brand does not change where an order goes.

Sandbox preview versus production listing

A brand saved in the sandbox shows on sandbox accounts immediately. It does not publish your venue into the production Connect catalog, and neither does a passed self-check: brand review and production onboarding are a separate step with your trdrs contact. Nothing about a listing requires a payment setup, and the sandbox never asks for one.

Where to go next

  • Register an account — pre-register a trader so your tile opens with their account ready to link.
  • Brokers — a venue that lists a built-in provider and stops there.
  • Venue keys — the key your backend holds once the venue exists.
