Which parameter should be used to use the connected account as merchant of record?

• A. on_behalf_of
• B. destination
• C. currency
• D. amount

Answer: (A)

When you want a connected account to be the merchant of record, you set the on_behalf_of parameter to the connected account’s ID. This designates which entity is responsible for the sale in terms of taxes, invoicing, and customer receipts. With on_behalf_of pointing to the connected account, invoices and tax reports reflect that account (and the customer sees the connected account as the merchant). The other options don’t establish the merchant of record: destination controls where funds are sent in a destination charge, while currency and amount are just transaction details and do not determine who is the merchant of record.
