AlternateMerchantId Property

Merchant-designated store or location number.

Syntax

 fdmsgiftcard.getAlternateMerchantId([callback])
 fdmsgiftcard.setAlternateMerchantId( alternateMerchantId, [callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getAlternateMerchantId([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setAlternateMerchantId([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Unlike the MerchantNumber property, the AlternateMerchantId is not used by FDMS or Datawire as connection credentials. This number is for the merchant's internal use. The maximum length of this property is 11 digits, and it may only contain numeric data.
