# Merchant Information
At GoDaddy Poynt we think of a merchant as an entity that can have multiple stores (or locations) with several Smart Terminals at each location.
When we onboard a new merchant, by default, we create a BUSINESS object that contains one or more STORE objects which in turn can contain 0 or more STOREDEVICE objects, which is another name for a smart terminal:
This creates the possibility for developers to define their application pricing using terminal, store and business criteria.
