Update Existing Merchant Values via API

After a merchant is successfully boarded to the Processor there are certain values that cannot be updated. This resource provides a list of values that cannot be updated after successful merchant onboarding:

Merchant Entity Class:

The entity class is used by the processor for TIN validation. Once that validation has been completed then the following fields cannot be updated:

• Type (entities.type)

• Public (entities.public)

• Tax ID Number (entities.ein)

• Legal Business Name (entities.name)

Merchant Members Class:

The members class associates an owner to a merchant entity and is used for owner validation. Fields on the /members class can be changed until the merchant TIN is validated by the processor. Once the TIN is marked as “valid” from the processor then it is no longer updatable.

• First Name (members.first)

• Last Name (members.last)

• SSN (members.ssn)

• Date of Birth (members.dob)

• Drivers Licence (members.dl)

• Drivers License State (members.dlstate)

Merchant Class:

The merchant class associates the sub-merchant with the legal entity. Once a merchant is boarded the following fields for the primary owner cannot be updated:

• MCC (merchant.mcc)

• Amex (merchant.amex)

• Discover (merchant.discover)

• DBA (merchant.dba)

  • After the merchant TIN is validated by the processor then the Facilitator must be engaged to make this change.

  • Note: This change should only occur after the batch cutoff time of 9:30PM ET. Changing this will cause any active auth to fail capture.
