Managed Merchants Guide
Managed Merchants allow your system to create other Pinch merchants under your own account and control them completely using your single set of API credentials.
These Managed Merchant accounts can be created through the API (Create Managed Merchant endpoint) or from within the developer portal in the Connected Merchants section.
Once the managed merchant is created, we will need to take them through compliance where we need identification and proof of business documents to be uploaded. Once you get to this part, we can go into more detail on the info we require and see if you want to build into the API part of this or send them off to our form to handle it.
Once the Managed Merchant is created, save the Merchant Id and then it can be used to call the Pinch API on their behalf using your existing API credentials with the "Current-Merchant" header added with the Merchant ID of the Merchant you want to call the API on behalf of.
Example Header: Current-Merchant: mch_1234567689
