Hi everyvone. I’m just approching Poynt OS (with Android Studio) and i’m trying to get merchant’s information with IPoyntBusinessService.getBusiness() call. No problems doing the call and get the Business object:
Specifically my questions are about one of the fields in the Business object that this call returns.
The field is “IndustryType” and the questions are:

  • Is it always non null?
  • Merchants choose one of the Categories of “IndustryType” from a fixed set or he can write anything he want (personal categorization)
  • “IndustryType” is always indicated in English or his values language depends on device’s Locale?

Hi there,

IndustryType is mostly used internally. Please use mcc instead and use a MCC code list (e.g. https://github.com/greggles/mcc-codes) to map to an industry type.
