Introduction
The Partner API lets you (a Fat Zebra partner — typically an ISO or platform) create and manage your own sub-merchants and their acquirer connections programmatically. It's distinct from the merchant-facing Gateway API: Gateway is for taking payments, this is for onboarding the merchant who'll take them.
What you'll do with it
Create a merchant, board it onto one or more acquirers you have a relationship with, and manage those connections (enable, disable, update) over time.
