Management API

Base Resource URL:

     https://sandbox-portal.zift.io/api/v01/merchants/[merchant-code]

Description:

Merchant code of a merchant, on which action is required.

In cases when an external identifier (Reference Code) is desired to be used in place of Merchant Code, the asterisk (*) must be used, followed by the external identifier assigned to the merchant.

For example,

/merchants/2000.xml - merchant identification is done using Merchant Code, in this case 2000

/merchants/*888760.xml - merchant identification is done using Reference Number, in this case 888760

Note that both merchants and sub-merchants (merchant accounts) can be accessed in a uniform way through this resource.

When new sub-merchant needs to be setup using Reference Number identification, use dot (.) to separate merchant identifier from sub-merchant identifier

For example,

/merchants/*888760.00001.xml - would provide access to a sub-merchant record with Reference Number 00001 under merchant record with Reference Number 888760.

The merchant-sub-merchant combined Reference Number is only required when a new record is being setup. In all other cases, sub-merchant's Reference Number is sufficient for identification as long as it's unique on the system level. In cases, when it is not unique, use combined Reference Number.
