Merchant Management

This section describes how to create and manage merchant accounts in your portfolio. When you finish setting up, your merchants can process payments.
Merchant management consists of two tasks:
  • Creating templates that determine how your merchants use your enabled services.
  • Adding merchants within your organization that can use your enabled services.
Visa Acceptance Platform
 recommends that you perform merchant management tasks in your test portfolio account first, and when you are ready, duplicate these tasks in your production portfolio account.
