Creating Split Campaigns (Fiserv Only)

As a partner, you can split payments with your merchants. This will give you the option of retaining a base charge and/or percentage charge from every transaction.

For example, if you set a percentage charge of 10%, you will receive 10% of every charge processed on behalf of the merchants in scope. If you set up a base charge of 10 cents per transaction, you will also receive 10 cents for every transaction processed on behalf of these merchants.

You can create a split campaign after you created the merchants, for example by using the Apply Wizard.

In order to create split campaigns, you will use the endpoint:

POST https://api.payarc.net/v1/agent-hub/campaigns

The parameters you can set for a split campaign are:

Parameter	Description
name Required	Name of the split campaign Format: String, Length 1-150 Example: 20 Percent Split
description Optional	Description of the split campaign Format: String, Value: 0-255 Example: We would receive 20 Percent of each transaction from the merchant
notes Optional	Additional notes related to the split campaign Format: String, Value: 0-500 Example: Only use this for merchants in Tier 1
base_charge Required	Base charge to be retained per transaction. Format: Number with two decimals, between 0 and 100. $13.51 would be represented as 13.51. Example: 13.51
perc_charge Required	Percentage charge, expressed as double-precision floating-point. Format: Number with two decimals, between 0 and 20. 14.6% would be represented as 14.60 Example: 20.00
accounts Optional	An array of all sub-merchant account_ids. This campaign will override any other campaigns that these merchants may have. If this is empty, the campaign is created but it is not applied to any submerchants. Example: `7n2GVN2n9e2N406Z`
is_default Optional	Set the split campaign as a default for when you create new submerchants. Values: `1` to set this as default, `0` not to set default.

Let's say you are setting up a campaign for two of your merchants, 7n2GVN2n9e2N406Z and V90n2xRG074N746R, charging them a 20% percentage charge.
