After a merchant is successfully on boarded to the Processor there are only certain values that can 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)
Can only be changed by a Facilitator after the batch cutoff time of 9:30PM ET, changing this will cause any active auth to fail capture.
Merchant Members Class:
The members class associates an owner to a merchant entity and is used for owner validation. Once a merchant is boarded the following fields for the primary owner cannot be updated:
First Name (members.first)
After the merchant TIN is validated by the processor then this is no longer updatable.
Last Name (members.last)
After the merchant TIN is validated by the processor then this is no longer updatable.
Address (members.address)
After the merchant TIN is validated by the processor then this is no longer updatable.
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:
DBA (merchant.dba)
After the merchant TIN is validated by the processor then the Facilitator must be engaged to make this change.
MCC (merchant.mcc)
Amex (merchant.amex)
