As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Aylin Kaya reported duplicate merchant records appearing in search results with identical data but different merchant IDs, affecting risk profile review. Bethan Lister identified a likely connector duplicate-key handling issue and escalated to Samir Haddad for investigation.
Problem: Duplicate merchant records with identical data but different IDs appear in search, preventing Aylin from identifying which record is current for risk analysis. Handling: Bethan checked the Snowflake schema and found duplicate records with the same external merchant ID in different states. She identified a likely connector duplicate-key handling problem and escalated to Samir for connector mapping review. Watch: No follow-up in the ticket; next step is to get specific merchant examples and complete root cause analysis.

- created · Aylin Kaya 9 Sep 2026 10:01Hello, I've noticed a data quality issue with our merchant records. Several merchants are appearing twice in the search results, the records look identical except for different merchant IDs assigned to each. This is causing problems when I'm reviewing merchant risk profiles as I can't easily tell which record is the current one. Could you investigate what's causing these duplicates?
- Internal note · Bethan Lister 9 Sep 2026 16:00Checked the merchant data schema in Snowflake. Found duplicate records with the same external merchant ID appearing in different states. Likely a connector issue with the source data, possible duplicate key handling problem. Flagging to Samir to review the connector mapping logic.

Just so I've got this right, you're seeing identical merchant records with different merchant IDs appearing in the search results. I've checked our end and found a possible issue in how we're handling the connector load from your source system. Can you tell me which specific merchants are affected so I can narrow down the issue?
