The first step to merchant onboarding is creating a merchant. A merchant is also the same as a contact. However, for purposes of organization, we will keep the documentation under the merchant route.
Merchant Approval Required
You cannot create a merchant on production if you are not approved by Carbon. You can test on sandbox however.
Super JWT Required
