Several elements in subscriptionCountries?

Following request to the REST API

https://sandbox.dev.clover.com/v3/apps/appId/merchants/mId/billing_info

returns information about the appSubscription and a field 'subscriptionCountries' containing one element (at least at my tests). Since the field is named in plural I wonder if it really can have more than one element? It would mean that a merchant has e.g. 2 subscriptions, e.g. one in the US and another in Canada. But as far as I know a merchant is always only located in one town. Is it for travelling salesman? How are, by the way, merchant ids assigned if a company has 100 salesmen who travel across the country? It wouldn't be a good deal for an app developer if one could only sell one subscription to such a company if they had only one merchantId.

I spoke with someone from the billing team and they said that currently subscriptionCountries will only ever contain 1 element and that it is an array because of the schema.

Thanks for that! Do you also know how it works with merchant Ids at the "100 travelling salesmen company"?

No I do not, I will have to ask someone.

So the answer to this is quite complex. Generally, merchant ids are location based, but there are exceptions to this.
