Connecting CP and CNP Gateway to single merchant account

[kamalpathi]

Hi,

I want to develop a POS module using CP implementation (for direct sale at the counter) and an online module using CNP implemntation with AIM (for online sale),  for the same product. I understood that i need two different gateway accounts for CP and CNP transactions and both should be setup seperately. But my question is about the Merchant account, can i use the same merchant account for both CP and CNP transactions (both methods are selling the same product) ?

What type of merchant account should i use for this(online or retail or anything else..)? 

Please help.

Thanks,

Kamal

Hello kamalpathi,

This depends if the Merchant Service Provider supports the same Terminal ID (TID) for Card Present and Card Not Present transactions.
