Legal Definitions - merchant's accounts

Definition: Merchant's accounts are current, mutual accounts between merchants that show debits and credits for merchandise.

Example: Let's say that Merchant A sells goods to Merchant B. Merchant A would keep a record of the amount owed by Merchant B for the goods sold, while Merchant B would keep a record of the amount owed to Merchant A. These records are known as merchant's accounts.

Merchant's accounts are important for keeping track of transactions between merchants. They allow merchants to keep track of the amount owed to them and the amount they owe to others. This helps to ensure that all transactions are properly recorded and that merchants are paid for the goods they sell.
