Important Multi-Merchant Setup Guidelines

  • All merchant accounts in multiple merchant setup must be pointed to the same processor. Multiple processors are not supported across multiple merchants!
  • The Connection Configuration is taken only from the the first CreditLine Setup File (911\data\ccv_info.dat). If it differs in other files, the other connection setups will be ignored.
