Merchant category codes (MCCs) are four-digit numbers used to group businesses by the kinds of goods or services they provide. For example, jewelry stores, dentists, and pet groomers would all have different merchant category codes.
Each WooPayments account has a single MCC, which is chosen during signup.
If you need to change your MCC (for example, in order to accept HSA or FSA cards), please contact our support staff for assistance with this.
