Its easy to find your merchant ID!If you do not know your MID your Merchant Service Provider for your merchant account should have this information.
They should have your merchant ID on record as it is actively used by their system. However, if you have received paper statements from your Merchant Service Provider for previous funding, the merchant account number (MID) is usually listed on the statement. If you do not receive such a statement, you may ask the bank that receives your deposits if they could trace one of those deposits back to your Merchant Service Provider, so they can provide you with that company’s name and phone number.
Do note that American Express and Discover often handle their own funding and would have separate merchant IDs for you. However, since your Merchant Service Provider would also handle your payment processing, they would have your merchant IDs for American Express and/or Discover if they handle these card types for you.
