In order to customize the descriptor that appears on a Merchant Disbursement Payrix clients can add a Secondary Statement Descriptor on the entity or a payout/withdrawal schedule. This will append the end of the Disbursement Descriptor (before the Merchant Name) to help merchants differentiate disbursements from Payrix.

Enabling a Secondary Descriptor via Portal:

You can utilize Secondary Descriptors for individual Merchants by visiting their Account Overview Menu. See the steps below:

Entity Secondary Descriptor

By setting up a Secondary Descriptor on an entity it will appear for all their disbursements regardless of the payout/withdrawal schedule.

This can be added to an entity upon creation or via an update via the entities.payoutSecondaryDescritptor field.

Create a Payout/Withdrawal Secondary Descriptor

This can be added to a Payout/Withdrawal upon creation or via an update to the payouts.secondaryDescriptor field.

Create Merchant Payout/Withdrawal with Secondary Descriptor:

			 "entity": "p1_ent_ID",
