Fields
name

string

The merchant resource name, which has the format of partners/{partner_id}/merchants/{merchantId}.

The merchantName, telephone, url and geo are used to support matching partner inventory with merchants already present on Google Maps. This information will not be displayed.

The name of the merchant.
telephone

string

The public telephone number of the merchant including its country and area codes, e.g. +14567891234.
url

string

The url of the merchant's public website.
geo

object (GeoCoordinates)

The Geo info of the merchant, including latitude, longitude, and address.
category

numBookings30d
(deprecated)

string (int64 format)

This field is deprecated.
taxRateBasisPoints
(deprecated)

integer (uint32 format)

The merchant's tax rate in basis points (one hundredth of one percent). For example, if the tax rate is 7.5%, this field should be set to 750.

If this field is left unset or set to 0, the total price charged to a user for any service provided by this merchant is the exact price specified by Service.price. The service price is assumed to be exempt from or already inclusive of applicable taxes. Taxes will not be shown to the user as a separate line item.

If this field is set to any nonzero value, the total price charged to a user for any service provided by this merchant will include the service price plus the tax assessed using the tax rate provided here. Fractions of the smallest currency unit (for example, fractions of one cent) will be rounded using nearest even rounding. Taxes will be shown to the user as a separate line item.

This field is deprecated, please use taxRate instead.
taxRate

object (TaxRate)

The merchant's tax rate. If present this field overrides the deprecated taxRateBasisPoints field. An empty message (i.e. taxRate { }) will reset the applied tax rate to zero.
paymentRestrictions

object (PaymentRestrictions)

Restrictions to the payment methods this merchant accepts. We assume no restrictions exist if this field is not set.
paymentOption[]

object (PaymentOption)

Payment options available for this merchant. Services under this merchant will be able to individually limit the payment options they allow.
paymentProcessorConfig
(deprecated)

object (PaymentProcessorConfig)

Configuration for a tokenized payment processor, if the merchant has support for it.
tokenizationConfig

object (TokenizationConfig)

Configuration for a tokenized payment processor, if the merchant has support for it.
terms

object (Terms)

The specific merchant's Terms and Conditions displayed to the user when a service is being booked through Reserve with Google. In addition to these the aggregator partner's Terms and Conditions are always displayed to the user and must not be provided here.
brandId

string

An opaque string that identifies the consumer-facing brand to use when displaying partner attribution. This field allows partners with multiple consumer-facing brands to provide merchants for all brands within the same feed.

A brand consists of consumer-facing properties like the name, logo, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy.

If there is only one consumer-facing partner brand, this field does not need to be set and can be ignored.

If the partner...

Does not have multiple consumer-facing brands? --> Ignore this field

Has Multiple Brands that are configured?

  If this field is set
    --> Associated consumer-facing brand attribution is used

  If this field is unset or the empty string
    --> Default consumer-facing brand attribution is used

Careful Note: most partners do not need to set this field. If a partner wishes to use this field, they must contact us first to configure separate brands, including the default brand.
matchingHints

object (MerchantMatchingHints)

Hints to help Google match a merchant to a place on Google Maps. Note: most partners do not need to set this field, as Google will match merchants to places on Google Maps using the information provided above. (optional)

JSON representation 
{
  "creditCardRestrictions": {
    object (CreditCardRestrictions)
  }
}
Fields
creditCardRestrictions

object (CreditCardRestrictions)

Restrictions to the credit cards this merchant accepts. We assume all credit cards are accepted if this field is not set. Note that the list of cards supported by CreditCardType will grow over time, meaning that leaving this empty subjects a configuration to future changes.

Restrictions to the credit card types this merchant accepts.

JSON representation 
{
  "creditCardType": [
    enum (CreditCardType)
  ]
}
Fields

PaymentOption

A payment option, which can be used to pay for services provided by a merchant. Payment options can be shared among multiple merchants (e.g. merchants belonging to the same chain).

JSON representation 
{
  "paymentOptionId": string,
  "name": string,
  "description": string,
  "price": {
    object (Price)
  },
  "taxRate": {
    object (TaxRate)
  },
  "paymentOptionType": enum (PaymentOptionType),
  "sessionCount": string,
  "purchaseInterval": {
    object (TimeRange)
  },
  "validInterval": {
    object (TimeRange)
  },
  "validDuration": string,
  "activationType": enum (ActivationType),
  "userRestriction": {
    object (UserPurchaseRestriction)
  }
}
Fields
paymentOptionId

string

This ID is used to identify this payment option.

This ID is global to the whole aggregator, and re-using a value across multiple merchants will allow a user to pay with the corresponding payment option across those merchants.

When re-using an ID accoss multiple merchants, updating any value for a payment option under one merchant will also update any other payment option with the same ID, under a different merchant. As such, it's a best practice to have all payment options sharing the same ID, always be updated to identical values, to avoid any possibility of underministic behavior.
