After a merchant is successfully boarded to the Processor there are certain values that cannot 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)
Merchant Members Class:
The members class associates an owner to a merchant entity and is used for owner validation. Fields on the /members class can be changed until the merchant TIN is validated by the processor. Once the TIN is marked as “valid” from the processor then it is no longer updatable.
First Name (
members.first)Last Name (
members.last)SSN (
members.ssn)Date of Birth (
members.dob)Drivers Licence (
members.dl)Drivers License State (
members.dlstate)
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:
MCC (
merchant.mcc)Amex (
merchant.amex)Discover (
merchant.discover)DBA (
merchant.dba)After the merchant TIN is validated by the processor then the Facilitator must be engaged to make this change.
Note: This change should only occur after the batch cutoff time of 9:30PM ET. Changing this will cause any active auth to fail capture.
