Merchant Options are accessed and configured by Vindicia employees with Admin privileges in Subscribe Portal 1.0 **Admin** > **Merchant Configurations**. Currently the Vindicia Merchant Options appear in random order and are not classified by categories. Use this guide to help you learn which option to use for a specific purpose. Additionally, hover over the blue question mark in every row to learn more about the specific configuration. Merchant Options are fields that describe a capability or require a specific value for configuration. Most fields have a default value configured. Use the following common values to configure merchant options: * **1** - Enter this value to enable the field's operation (means true in a boolean choice). For example, entering 1 for a field called **CASHBOX\_AB\_FULL\_AMOUNT\_AUTH**, enables the subscription (autobill) full amount authorization. * **0** - Enter this value to disable the field's operation, (means false in a boolean choice). For example, entering 0 for a field called **CASHBOX\_AB\_FULL\_AMOUNT\_AUTH**, disables the capability to authorize the subscription's (autobill) full amount. * **Null** - Empty value often entered by default. The system chooses the default setting. * **Specific value for a field** - Some fields need either numerical or character input such as number of days for a capability, number of attempts for a capability, or a name of a provider. For example, for the field, **WEB\_SESSION\_LIFESPAN**, you'd need to enter the lifespan time of a session in seconds. Default is 3600 seconds, you can change that number to a different one. **Note:** Merchant options can also be modified via SQL commands in the database table (merchant\_option table)hink **Parent topic:**[Configuration Methods](../topics/configurationInterface) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
