The following table describes all possible fields in a merchant object. Some fields might not apply to your operation.

Name	Data Type	Description
fullName	String	The merchant’s full name.
email	String	The merchant’s email address.
registeredDate	Number	The date the merchant’s account was created, shown as milliseconds since the Unix Epoch. You can convert the date to human-readable form by rounding from milliseconds to seconds and then using the Unix timestamp conversion algorithm, or by using a web site that converts milliseconds since the Epoch, such as https://currentmillis.com.
deactivatedDate	Number	The date the merchant’s account was deactivated, if applicable, shown as milliseconds since the Unix Epoch. A deactivated merchant can no longer print labels. For an active merchant, the field is set to null. To convert the value to human-readable form, round from milliseconds to seconds and then apply the Unix timestamp conversion algorithm. Alternatively, use a web site that converts milliseconds since the Epoch, such as https://currentmillis.com.

parcelProtection	String	If true, the merchant can choose to request PB Parcel Protection coverage when creating a shipment.
paymentKey	String	If the merchant uses ACH as the payment method, this returns the ACH payment key. Otherwise this returns the null value.
paymentMethod	String	When returned by the Authorize a Merchant API call, this field indicates the payment method for the merchant’s PB Postage Account. For other API calls, this field returns the null value. For the Authorize a Merchant API call, the possible values are: LineOfCredit: PB Line of Credit CreditCard: Credit card ACH: (Automated Clearing House)
