A merchant statement is a monthly report provided by a payment processor or merchant services provider that details the financial activity related to credit card transactions for a business.

Merchant statements generally do not include social security numbers (SSNs) or full card numbers for security and privacy reasons.

Most payment processors provide a secure online portal where you can log in and view or download your monthly merchant statements. You can also email or call customer support .

If you cannot access or find your merchant statement, that's okay. Just submit your either projected or current sales volume instead of submitting the statement.
