Overview
The Switch MCC API enables the cardholder to seamlessly manage Merchant Category groups, and codes (MCCGs /MCCs), which categorize merchants. This API enables users to update or switch MCCs by enabling or blocking MCCG/MCC, and this will impact the authorization transaction immediately.
How It Works
To manage a specific card ID, you can choose to block or allow a list of Merchant Category Codes (MCC) groups, with the option to block or allow MCCs withing each group. For example, suppose you have a group labeled X containing 3 MCC codes 1111,2222,3333. If you want to block group X except for code 3333, you will need to send a request with mcc_blocked_group_list containing group X and mcc_allowed_code_list containing code 3333. This configuration specifies which MCC groups are blocked overall and which specific MCCs within those groups are allowed.
