Entity Structure
Integrate payments into your solution or build full-scale payment applications on our PCI DSS Level 1 compliant processing platform.
Entity Structure
The Cycle platform uses a hierarchical structure to manage merchants and their operations. Understanding this structure is key to effective integration.
- Merchant / Client: The top-level entity with a Bank/Acquirer assigned MID (Merchant ID) in the Cycle system.
- Branch (Optional): Represents a physical location or division under a merchant. Agents (POS users) can be assigned to specific branches.
- Terminal: Assigned to either a merchant or a branch. A Terminal ID (TID) must be assigned for payment processing to be possible.
- Agent / POS User: The individual user account that operates a terminal to process transactions.
