Merchant Link Setup

1. The property acquires a Merchant Link E-Commerce MID, adding b4checkin as a Contact.
   
   
2. When the E-Commerce MID is boarded at Merchant Link, they trigger an email to the property (sometimes copied to b4checkin) which contains the property's initial log-in to the Merchant Link portal. b4checkin will log in with those credentials and change the password as described below.
   
   
3. b4checkin then creates a new User with rights to generate the API key needed to complete the setup of the payment gateway.
