Reads one merchant's custom field definitions.
GET
/api/merchants/{id}/custom-fields
deprecated
No permission required.
The narrow counterpart to `GET /api/merchants/{id}` for a caller that wants only the definitions. That route answers with the whole merchant, decrypting processor and screening provider secrets on the way, so using it to read a handful of field names pulls material the caller never asked for across the wire and pays a per-profile decryption for it. Takes the merchant as a parameter rather than resolving it from the caller, unlike `self/custom-fields`: definition numbering is per merchant, so a caller acting for several of them has to be able to name the one it means. The caller must have access to the merchant it names: a merchant outside the caller's scope is reported as not found.

numericMinValue
required |
number (double) | For numeric fields, the minimum value allowed. Negative minimums are permitted: a custom
field is merchant-defined metadata rather than a monetary amount, so ranges that span or sit
below zero (adjustments, offsets, deltas, temperatures) are legitimate. The value is inert
unless `isNumeric` is set, and is validated only in that case.
Conditional: When IsNumeric is true. Range: -1000000000 to 1000000000.
Values:
Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.
| ||||||||||||||||||
numericMaxValue
required |
number (double) | For numeric fields, the maximum value allowed. It must be greater than or equal to
`numericMinValue` but is not required to be positive, since a field whose whole
range is negative is valid. The value is inert unless `isNumeric` is set, and is
validated only in that case.
Conditional: When IsNumeric is true. Range: -1000000000 to 1000000000.

showOnSaveCardSessions
required |
boolean | Whether this field is offered on a save-card hosted payment page session (one that stores the
card without charging it). Defaults to off: most custom fields carry charge metadata (invoice
number, purchase order, department) that is meaningless on a page whose only outcome is a
stored card, so a field is suppressed on those sessions unless the merchant opts it in.

legacyNumber
required |
integer (int64) | The integer key the v1 API addresses this definition by. Server-owned: allocated once, when
the definition is first saved, and never reassigned afterwards.
nullable
Values:
Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.
| ||||||||||||||||||
isMultiValue
required |
boolean | Whether a transaction carries a list of values for this field rather than a single value.
A multi-value field is submitted through `TrxCustomField.Values`, prefilled on a hosted
page session through `prefilledListFields`, and captured one value per line on the
Virtual Terminal. The single `value` member keeps working on a multi-value definition:
it is carried unchanged and mirrored into the list as its one item.
nullable
Values:
Values combine: send one or more member names separated by a comma and a space, or the integer sum of their values. Responses carry the names.
| ||||||||||||||||||
maxValues
required |
integer (int32) | For a multi-value field, the largest number of values a transaction may carry. Unset reads as
`DefaultMaxValues`; the platform ceiling is
`MaxValuesCeiling`. Inert unless `isMultiValue` is set,
and validated only in that case.
Conditional: When IsMultiValue is true and MaxValues is not null. Range: 1 to 250.

429 The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause.
