How do I allow readers to be attached to a merchant automatically during the first transaction?

1st Scenario:

A card-reader is not attached to any merchant and has status activated
. A merchant initializes a transaction with this card-reader for the first time. The card-reader is automatically attached to this merchant during this first transaction.

If the card-reader has status deactivated
the card-reader is not attached. The merchant sees an error message instead.

2nd Scenario:

A card-reader is attached to some merchant and has status activated
. Another merchant from the same application initializes a transaction with the same card-reader. The card-reader is automatically reattached to the new merchant during this transaction.

If the card-reader has status
deactivated
the card-reader is not attached. The merchant sees an error message instead.

The scenarios above describe the functionalities of our “Streamlined Reader Management” feature. The benefits of this feature are time & effort saved by automating a part of the onboarding process.
