searchMerchantsCount

Reseller only method.

Search active merchants.

Description

Identical to the searchMerchants method except only the merchants counts are returned. Like searchMerchants, this method returns MerchantSearchResult. The only difference is that MerchantSearchResult.Merchants is left empty. This method provides a quicker way to determine the size of the result set before starting to retrieve the full search results.
