# Get Merchant

Retrieve merchant details based on a given `merchant_id`.

{% hint style="info" %}
Merchant PII (name, email, etc.) is masked on this endpoint.\
If a merchant has forgotten what email they created their account under, you can view a masked version of their email on the [Connection Health](https://app.gitbook.com/s/ZrOgj5n6PuU2r0Ya8Tzl/prism/violet-connect/guides/connection-health) screen to help jog their memories. Ex. j\*\*\*\*\*<e@example.com>
