Since merchant IDs are private information, they are not accessible as public data. Because of this, if you are not a part of the organization you are looking for, you cannot use the merchant ID number lookup mechanism. The use of these private numbers for money routing is similar to that of a bank account. You don’t want the general public to find out about these numbers.
If your processor doesn’t work differently, MIDs typically have 15 numbers and can be found in a few distinct places.
On your merchant statement: Verify the upper right corner of your MSP(1)’s merchant statement. Contact your processor or merchant services provider and ask them if you can’t find a similar 15-digit number.- On your terminal: The ID may occasionally be displayed on your interface by MSPs or processors. Look for any indicators along the sides and bottoms.
- On your bank statement: Your MID should appear on your bill somewhere, perhaps in an abbreviated form, along with the credits and debits from our processors. BTOT(2) or MTOT(3) is the usual initials for these.
- By calling your merchant services provider: if you’re having trouble finding your merchant identification number, you can get in touch with the relationship manager who helped you get it!
- Through Google Pay: When merchants set up a payments profile, Google assigns it a unique numeric code called a Merchant ID. You cannot change this number. To find your Merchant ID follow these steps:
- Sign in to your payments profile.
- At the top, click Settings.
- Find “Public merchant profile,” then find your merchant ID.
It is unquestionably necessary to have your own merchant ID and engage with an authorized merchant services provider if you have been operating a successful business for a while, have many locations, or both. They’ll be able to equip your company with the proper processes and charge & fee structures to help you save money while giving your clients a better experience.
