  3. Accept different cards and wallets
  4. Reduce costs and complexity by maintaining fewer merchant accounts

MerchantSuite allows you to set different validation rules for References to make sure that payments are coming from legitimate customers. We have various methods to do this, such as requesting a prefix/suffix or using the Checksum Algorithm which can automatically generate reference numbers that will be validated against the referenced provided by the customer.
