Switching Merchants
Switching merchants enables you to perform actions on behalf of any merchant account that
you have access to. For example, if you are acting in a support capacity, you might receive
a call from someone in an organization asking how to perform an action. By switching
merchants, you can do it for them during that call and explain how to do it in the future
from their view.
When you switch merchants, only the features enabled for that merchant account are visible.
Only the information allowed by the permissions assigned to that account or user are
visible. To limit the dataset for a quicker search, using the smaller set of information
accessible for that account can be helpful.
- Select the merchant account to which you want to switch. See Using the Business Center to Search for Organizations for information about selecting a merchant account. The Merchant Details page displays.
- At the top of the screen, click the Switch View drop-down menu and selectChoose Organization. The Switch View sidebar displays.
