Merchant Profiles

Use the Merchants screen to create and maintain merchant profiles. A merchant bank profile is a record that represents the relationship with a credit card processor, and it contains all of your merchant information. For example, merchant id, and connection information.

  • Changes to merchant profiles are saved in the audit log. The audit log is updated when changes are made to a merchant profile. To view the audit log, click the Audit Log button on the Merchant screen (Administration > Evosus Card Services > General Setup > Merchant Profiles). NOTE: please, do not change any merchant profiles! The merchant profile information is maintained by Evosus and OpenEdge Global Payments. If you change any of the information on this screen, you might not be able to process credit card payments.

The merchant profile with ID #1 is actually read-only. That means it cannot be changed after it has been saved.
