Attribute: Technologies Used

Description​

Indicates third-party technologies being used at a particular operating location.

Time Structure​

This attribute also includes a historical component through the rank property:

  • Rank = 0: Reflects Enigma's most recent, validated observation of a technology being used at a location.
  • Higher ranks (1, 2, etc.): Represent older, previously recorded periods of usage, preserved for reference and limited historical tracking.

Maintaining multiple ranks helps you see how a location's technology usage may have changed over time, such as switching from one payment provider to another.

Data Sources​

Technologies are determined by parsing merchant identifiers from credit card transaction data.

Methodology​

This data is sourced from private vendors that we independently verify for accuracy. Currently we provide information only for payments-related technologies.

We currently identify Clover, Paypal, Shopify, Square, Stripe, and Toast.
