Founded in 1993, Merchant Link was a leading provider of payment gateway and data security solutions for merchants, primarily in the hospitality, restaurant, and retail sectors. The company specialized in transaction security, offering services like tokenization and point-to-point encryption to remove sensitive cardholder data from a merchant's IT environment, thereby helping them achieve PCI DSS compliance. In November 2017, Merchant Link was acquired by the payment processing company Shift4 Payments, and its brand, technology, and services were subsequently integrated into the Shift4 platform.
