Merchants dataset
The Merchants dataset contains key information about merchants used in the commercial pricing solution. It defines merchant entities associated with pricing activities and supports pricing analysis at merchant and segment levels.
This dataset is required for application deployment and pricing insights analysis.
Purpose
The commercial pricing solution uses the Merchants dataset to:
- Identify merchants associated with quotes and sales transactions
- Support merchant-level pricing segmentation and analysis
- Enable pricing differentiation across merchant categories and subcategories
This dataset is especially important when pricing strategies vary across merchant types.
Required fields
| Field | Description | Type | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
merchant_id | Unique identifier for each merchant. | string | Required |
merchant_name | Merchant name. | string | Required |
merchant_category | Merchant category. | string | Required |
merchant_subcategory | Merchant sub-category. | string | Required |
updated_at | Timestamp when the record was updated. | timestamp_tz | Required |
Usage notes
- Every merchant referenced in the Quote Line or Sales datasets must exist in the Merchants dataset.
- Merchant identifiers must be consistent across all related datasets.
- Accurate categorization improves segmentation-based pricing strategies.
- The
updated_atfield ensures synchronization integrity during incremental data feeds.
Why this dataset matters
The Merchants dataset enables the pricing solution to segment and analyze pricing behavior by merchant. Without this dataset, the application cannot reliably apply merchant-level pricing strategies or generate accurate merchant-specific insights.
