Understanding Organization IDs

Organizations relate to each other using IDs. Every organization is assigned an organization ID. When an organization has a subordinate, it is assigned a child ID that identifies the subordinate. The subordinate is assigned a parent ID that identifies the parent organization. Organization IDs must be unique, not just within the portfolio or account, but across the system.

In the illustration below, merchant's ID is

Merchant1

. The merchant's child IDs are

Transacting1

and

Transacting2

. The merchant's parent ID is

Portfolio1

.
