Partner payments

Taking payments as a partner is easy and builds on the same methodologies discussed in the payments overview. Partner payments differ through the inclusion of an additional merchant identifier, which can be used to link requests to a specific merchant account.

Partner accounts are designed to be used with multiple linked merchant accounts. Make sure you're familiar with the differences between partner and merchant accounts.
