Understanding Hosts

Prev Next

A Host is a configuration of whitelabel branding configurations and platform-wide settings that can be applied at a Partition (Facilitator) and Division (Partner) level.

Division Host configurations override Partition Host configurations. If no Division Host configuration is set up, the Merchant offering will default to the Partition-level Host configuration.

Setting up a new Host offers the following options:

General

The General Host parameters allow the Host to be configured with basic white-labeling information and setup preferences, such as business contact information for the Partner or Facilitator or defaulting to a Host’s settings when creating new Hosts.
