Getting Started with Boarding a Merchant

Check the individual requirements for each acquirer to become familiar with additional information you might be required to provide when boarding a merchant.
Have this required information available:
Merchant's name.
Processing data from your acquirer for this merchant, usually called
MID
or
TID
.
Serial number of the card reader that the merchant will use.
Merchant's receipt data, including company name, street address, city, postal code, country, and phone number.
Make sure your card readers are added to your app. In order to attach a card reader to a merchant during boarding, the reader must already be in your app. Contact Customer Support to have readers added to your app.
