Abstract
Facilitating payments for merchants that use multiple payment service providers (PSPs) is described. A first request may be received to establish a first on-file grant, wherein the first request indicates a first PSP used by a merchant. A request to associate a second PSP with the merchant may be received from a merchant device of the merchant, and a group association between the merchant, the first PSP, and the second PSP may be stored. A second request indicating that a transaction will be processed using the second PSP may be received, and, based on the group association, it may be determined that an identifier associated with a user account of a user can be used for the transaction. A second on-file grant may be established, and a response to the second request may be sent to indicate approval to use the identifier for payment of the transaction.
