How to set my vendor code.

Hello, Well I have come across quite a few individuals who we're wondering if I could set my vendor code for specific  purchases which is 5552, so they can aquire points, and get loyalty rewards, is there a way I can set my vendor code to 5552, I have a parking garage and also own chargers in it, but they were informing me when they pay for parking or charging its the same, can I change my vendor code to 5552?

Hi there @Raknar1989.. Square does not provide an option to change your vendor code used by card processing companies. Usually, vendor codes are assigned by card networks and processors based on your business type and account.  But since Square is actually the merchant account with those networks, and since we are effectively "sharing" Square's merchant account as far as the networks are concerned, this sort of change might be tricky.  I've done a little research and, for sure, it's not something we can change or control.  So.....

 

I'm going to tag the Square moderators here.  It is possible they can talk to folks on the card processing side of Square to learn if this might be possible.  But I will say that I wouldn't at all be surprised if this can't be changed unless we actually set up our own traditional card processing accounts and have our own merchant account.  If so, that would be a restriction placed upon Square by the networks rather than a Square restriction.  But, I hope I'm wrong here.

Is this something you can look into and confirm or refute my assumptions?
