What it means to Merchants
For vape merchants, catalogue control starts with exact product identity and must reach checkout, promotions, suppliers and refund operations. 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.
