Tenant Management

Tenants are onboarded and managed by Stitch directly, however a tenant that has been registered as a parent tenant may onboard and manage their own tenants via the Stitch API.

A parent tenant may have an aggregation relationship with Stitch and onsell some of Stitch services to their own customers that have their own merchants.

A parent tenant can create tenants of the following types:

rki_only - only requires Stitch RKI (Remote Key Injection) services for their terminals.
transactional - requires all transactional services to process a transaction (which may or may not include RKI as well).

A parent tenant can not create other parent tenants and thus may not create arbitrary levels of tenant hierarchies.

This payload sample below shows how to create a new tenant via the Management API, and contains essential configuration details for the tenant.

Basic Information: Sets the tenant type, name, and contact details.
Regional Settings: Configures default currency, timezone, country, and language settings that will apply to all merchants under this tenant unless overridden.
Feature Configuration: The config object contains various configurations and feature flags which control tenant behavior.
Hierarchy: The parentTenantId establishes this as a sub-tenant under the specified parent tenant.
Data Retention: transactionOffloadAfterDays defines how long transaction data is retained before archiving.
