# Retrieve Merchant

`square.retrieveMerchant` retrieves the `Merchant` object for the given `merchant_id`.

## Example

import { automation, onDashboardRun } from "automate.ax"
import { square } from "automate.ax/square"

export default automation("Retrieve Square Merchant", () => {
  onDashboardRun({ title: "Retrieve Square Merchant" })

  square.retrieveMerchant({
    merchantId: "merchant_id",
  })
})
```

## Inputs

Every input accepts a compatible signal. It requires `MERCHANT_PROFILE_READ`.

| Field        | Type     | Required | Default | Description                                                                                                                                         |

| `merchantId` | `string` | Yes      | —       | The ID of the merchant to retrieve. If the string `me` is supplied as the ID, then retrieve the merchant that is currently accessible to this call. |

Use the official [RetrieveMerchant reference](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/merchants-api/retrieve-merchant) for provider field semantics and limits.

## Output

Returns the official `Square.GetMerchantResponse` response as a codec-safe object. Square integer money amounts remain `bigint` values.
