Question regarding Merchant ID

Hey guys,

 

I'm new to Visa developer center. I'm trying to create a project where I query the Visa database using merchant ID.

I have a few doubts regarding the merchant ID. I've searched over the internet but it seems to make me more confused than solving my doubts.

- Can a merchant have different merchant IDs? (Search results tend to say yes.)

- If the merchant can have multiple IDs, is there anything that is uniquely identify a merchant?

- Can Visa and Mastercard have the same merchant id for an individual merchant or different id?

 

Any help is much appreciated!

 

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Thanks for your inquiry. To serve you better , can you please let me know which API are you planning to use ? is it Merchant Search, Locator or Measurement or any other API, so we can look into this further.

 

Thank you !
