Note: To avoid getting a Must Settle Now message, you should close your batch daily. It will save you money and keep you from receiving this annoying error message while you're in the middle of the rush hour. If you are a retailer and believe that your batches should be closing automatically, call MPS and they will check how your account is set up. To provide automated settlement for a merchant, Mercury needs to create a merchant account that is configured for Time Initiated batch close. If this is needed for a brand new merchant, the process should be able to be handled during the initial setup and account audit procedure. It must be explicitly requested by the merchant and/or dealer providing the lead to Mercury or the account will default to Merchant Initiated. If this is a live changeover, moving an existing Mercury merchant from Merchant Initiated batch close to Time Initiated batch close, then the dealer should contact Mercury's technical support department to coordinate a switch to a new account configured for Time close.  This is a simple process. For USA accounts, the Time Initiated Credit is closed at 2:00 AM EST. For Canadian accounts, the Time Initiated Debit is closed at 1:00 AM EST and the Time Initiated Credit is closed at 3:00 AM EST. These times can not be changed and they are the only times available.
