Methodology:
Enigma uses a machine learning model to predict whether a business has any payment technologies on its website.

The model combines signals about the business from a range of underlying data sources. For example:

• Enigma looks at card transaction data for indicators that an online payment technology was involved in a transaction associated with that business.
• Enigma looks at a company's websites and identifies if there are online payment technologies in use.

Other notes and tips:

You can use this feature along with other merchant transaction attributes (e.g., card_revenue, card_transactions) for marketing and prospecting segmentation/prioritization.

Online revenue share and breakdown is available as a prototype attribute for file deliveries only.
