    We are going to create a new merchant with the following parameters:

    Contact Information:

    New York, NY 10001

    Accounts: Multiple (We need a separate account for each register)
    Tax IDs: Single (All accounts represent cash registers that belong to one corporate entity; that is why Tax ID is the same)
