User Interface Overview
The Merchant Portal user interface provides structured navigation, contextual information, and access to merchant configuration and operational data.
Understanding how the interface is organized helps you efficiently navigate the portal and perform daily operations.
If a user is assigned to multiple entities, a selection screen is displayed after login, allowing the user to choose which entity to access.
