Each merchant is associated with a merchant processing  account (most schools have one, but if you need additional accounts, please contact your client service representative). K-12 Online will assist in entering a payment gateway and integrating it into the merchant account. Each Merchant can be associated with one webstore.  Only one merchant can be associated with tuition.


In the Merchant Manager, you will be able to:

  • Add new merchants and edit existing merchants
  • Change the status of the merchant (suggested when you want to "close" the Webstore)
  • Delete merchants


You will also be able to access the following features:
