Categorize a transaction

Merchant Initiated Transactions (MIT) are payment transactions that are initiated by the merchant on behalf of the customer. In MITs, the merchant has control over the transaction and is authorized to charge the customer's account or credit card based on predefined terms and conditions agreed upon by the customer.

Payment examples:

Subscription payments. A customer signs up for a subscription service and the merchant is allowed to collect periodic payments to the customer's account.
Automatic renewals. In case a customer has opted for automatic renewals of services, the merchant can initiate the transaction without explicit customer approval.
