Organization Identifiers
Identifier
Description
organizationId
Unique value that identifies every organization. If you do not assign one in the POST request, it is generated and included in the response.
parentOrganizationId
All organizations except the root organization in the hierarchy must also be assigned a
parentOrganizationId
value. It is a relative value that refers to the parent organization in the hierarchy, thus establishing the organization’s position in the hierarchy of your business.
childOrganizations
This array is returned in the response and specifies all child organizations relative to the organization created by the POST request. All organizations have child organizations except transacting organizations.
When you create a merchant organization, a corresponding transacting organization is created and its information is returned in the response. The parent organization ID of the transacting organization is the merchant organization’s organization ID.
