Merchant Search is a product designed to address various pain points within the payment industry due to the lack of proper merchant data within transactions.
There are three API bundles available under Merchant Search catering for the following purposes:
1. Transaction Enrichment: Enables clients to input data fields from transaction and provides enhanced merchant information (e.g. street address, URL which is not part of transaction data)
2. Generic Search: Enables clients to input public information about merchants (e.g. name, location) to fetch the Visa identifiers and obtain missing additional info about merchants
3. Nearby Merchants: Enables clients to search for nearby Visa accepting merchants
The following table lists the regional availability for Merchant Search. To view availability of all products, refer to the Availability Matrix.
