searchMerchants

Reseller only method.

Search active merchants.

This method allows resellers to search their database for active merchants based on specific criteria.

The following fields may be searched via this method:

• Merchant ID
• Contact
• Company
• Street
• Street 2
• City
• State
• Zip
• Email

If MatchAll is set to “true,” then only results matching ALL of your search criteria will be returned. If your search does not yield the desired results, eliminate some of you search terms or set MatchAll to “false.”
