Description

Gap: gateway groups (weighted routing, soft-decline retry across members) are documented, but nothing states whether a merchant with, say, three NMI merchant accounts adds three NMI gateway instances and groups them. The word "MID" does not appear in the payments docs.

How it surfaced: the agent consultation probes for nextcommerce-site#154 (2026-09-16). The Sticky.io persona (3 NMI MIDs + 1 Authorize.net) is the common funnel/CRM migration shape; both agents inferred the gateway-instances-in-a-group pattern and then flagged it as unverified in the open questions.

Ask: a short section on the Payments Guide (or the NMI page) using the merchant's vocabulary: multiple MIDs on one processor = multiple gateway instances, grouped; note any limits.

Evidence: probe matrix, sticky transcript (Claude), sticky transcript (Codex).

Research direction

Start with the Payments Guide and the NMI page, then review the linked probe matrix and Sticky.io transcripts for the terminology and open question. Add a short section explaining that multiple MIDs on one processor use multiple gateway instances grouped together, including any documented limits; the guide should explicitly use “MID.”
