Enabling Merchants

After your Merchants are created, they will exist under the 'Inactive Merchant' tab until they are enabled. Enabling a Merchant makes them active for payment processing.

Preczn offers multiple methods to Enable your Merchants:

• Enabling via Dashboard
• Enabling via API
• Enabling via Merchant Import

📘

To enable a Merchant, they must have a Plan assigned. If no Plan has been assigned, the option to "Enable Merchant" will not exist.

Enabling via Dashboard

To enable a Merchant, simply browse to the 'Vault' page in the navigation menu, and toggle the 'Show Disabled' checkbox

• From the Vault view table, select the drop-down next to 'Edit' in the Merchant's Action column

• Select 'Enable Merchant'

• Confirm your action in the modal

Now your Merchant has moved to the 'ACTIVE MERCHANT' tab, and is ready to process with your platform's Direct API Integration or Hosted Checkout Integration

Enabling via API

Merchants may also be enabled via the Update Merchant API.

Enabling a merchant via the API still requires that the merchant be assigned to a Plan.

In order to make a a merchant Active via the API, your application will need to make the following API request:

PATCH https://api.preczn.com/v1/merchants/{merchantId}

{
"active":true
}

{
    "id": "mid_test_1fq9yd3g409vbbaqkq9t8xbr87",
    "active": true,
    "name": "Example Merchant",
    "legalName": "Example Merchant",
    "address": {
        "address": "Api Address 1",
        "address2": "Api Address 2",
        "city": "San Francisco",
...
}

{
    "status": 400,
    "error": "No Plan."
}

 
The opposite operation to deactivate a merchant uses the same parameter.

PATCH <https://api.preczn.com/v1/merchants/{merchantId}

{
"active":false
}

{
    "id": "mid_test_1fq9yd3g409vbbaqkq9t8xbr87",
    "active": false,
    "name": "Example Merchant",
    "legalName": "Example Merchant",
    "address": {
        "address": "Api Address 1",
        "address2": "Api Address 2",
        "city": "San Francisco",
...
}

Enabling via Merchant Import

If you have a large number of merchants to import, the Merchant Import feature also supports the option to enable merchants. For more details, please refer to the Merchant Import documentation.
