# Connected Merchants

As a channel, you will always have access to a view of your connected merchants in the channel dashboard. You also have the ability to export this data in its entirety to a CSV file for analysis and/or record-keeping.

Unlike other reporting functions, the columns and parameters for connected merchants are fixed and cannot be customized. The export will always include all of your connected merchants and their associated data.

See [this page](/prism/reporting/connected-merchants/columns.md) for supported columns and their definitions.
