The /merchantCategory API provides a list of all merchant categories that can be used in front-end applications. Merchant categories are typically based on the Merchant Category Codes (MCC) system, which classifies businesses according to the types of goods or services they provide. This API is essential for applications that require merchant category selection or filtering, ensuring consistent classification of businesses.

Functionality:

• Retrieve Merchant Category List: This API returns a list of all available merchant categories, each associated with a specific Merchant Category Code (MCC). These codes help identify the nature of a merchant's business.
• Front-End Integration: The list can be used in various front-end elements like dropdowns, filters, and reports where users need to select or view merchant categories.
