What it means to Merchants
For dating merchants, virtual credits need a ledger as rigorous as the payment record because customer disputes usually concern what value was delivered and consumed. Inclusion in this industry category does not establish legality, safety, eligibility or payment approval. Verify each entity, product and customer market, keep evidence current, and present the actual operating model for assessment rather than relying on a label, disclaimer or supplier claim.
