# Activation now runs inside your own admin

The eleven activation screens were already ours. They now run where they
belong: on your own Payments page, in the same tab and the same session you
were already in. There is no page on our website to visit, no link to follow,
and nothing to sign into twice.

**What you see**

Open Payments, press Activate, and answer the screens. The admin's own
navigation, its Back link, its focus, its transitions. When you are done, the
Payments page tells you where your account stands, on the same page you
started from.

**If something is still needed**

It appears as Action needed on that same Payments page: what is missing, in
plain words, and by when. Answering it is another short screen in the same
place. You are never sent elsewhere to finish.

**What your own server never sees**

Your Social Security number, your date of birth, your bank account number and
any photo of your ID go from your browser to our payment processor directly.
They do not pass through your store's server, not even on their way out, and
your store writes none of them to any database or log. Your store's server
carries only what is not sensitive, and it refuses to carry the rest.

**Who can reach these screens**

Only someone signed into your admin. The activation screens are part of your
admin now, so they are behind the same session as everything else in it.
