Kristi from Braintree again.

All of our merchants get their own merchant account during our onboarding process.

Admittedly, it's a complex process behind the scenes. We know that a lot of people are interested in how we do this, and we want to be completely transparent about our business practices. We plan on putting out a blog post explaining it all in detail in the coming weeks.
