  • 1.  Multiple merchant accounts for one event

    Posted 08-18-2022 18:54
    Good afternoon,
    Is it possible to have multiple merchant accounts for one event? I ask because it would be good to have one for each registration type.
    Thank you,
    Jarrett

    While I haven't found any article saying you can't use multiple merchant accounts, I don't see how could.
    Merchant accounts are tied to the event.

    You could setup two events but then you'd need to duplicate everything, including reports. A lot fo extra work.

    Hi Jarrett,

    Hope you are well.

    As per design, you can use one HOP And API Merchant account in one event. This means that you can use one merchant account and one third party payment account (For eg: One CPS merchant account and one PayPal account) in one event.

    Adding separate merchant accounts for each registration type is not an option as of now. However, this is a great feedback. You can always add this feedback as an 'Idea' under Cvent Community > Ideas Tab, and we may have such an option in future.
