Access criteria

Even within these approved categories we might block certain merchants. This is most likely for cases where the partner-provided appointment isn't what the user expects. We might hold our approvalon those categories until we have an appropriate method to address the issue.

As we review new merchant categories, we reserve the right to include or exclude them as we deem appropriate. Our goal is to enable as many merchants as possible, if they fit our criteria. Not every merchant fits our criteria.
