There has a been a change in CardFlight adding a Merchant Category Code (MCC) field to the SwipeSimple boarding form. SwipeSimple will use this MCC field for business identification as a requirement for future product enhancements, including Tap to Pay on iPhone. The timeline for this change is outlined below:


  • October 31, 2024: The MCC field will become available as an optional field on the SwipeSimple boarding form. See screenshot below for what the SwipeSimple boarding form will look like. 
  • January 1, 2025: The MCC field will become a mandatory requirement for onboarding new merchants.

This update is part of our effort to ensure merchants can seamlessly take advantage of upcoming features like Tap to Pay on iPhone. For any existing merchants, there will be no service disruptions, but the MCC will be required for those wishing to use these new features in the future. 

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification.
