Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / credit card authorization
English term or phrase: merchant
In this context I assume something like "credit card merchant" is meant. There is not a lot of specific context, unfortunately, just a list of response codes regarding the authorization of credit cards. Which German translation can be used?

List of values
00=Approved
01=Refer to card issuer
02=Refer to card issuer, special condition
03=Invalid merchant
04=Card on stop list
05=Do not honour
06=Error
07=Pick-up card, special condition
08=Honour with identification
09=Request in progress
10=Approved, partial
11=Approved, VIP
12=Invalid transaction
13=Invalid amount
14=Invalid card number
15=No such issuer
16=Approved, update track 3
17=Customer cancellation
18=Customer dispute
19=Re enter transaction
20=Invalid response
