Understanding MCC 5131: Piece Goods, Notions, and Other Dry Goods

Payment processors assign a four-digit Merchant Category Code (MCC) to classify a business by its goods or services. These codes, established by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization), are universally accepted by most card-issuing organisations.

MCC 5131 encompasses businesses that sell fabrics, sewing supplies, and dry goods. Understanding merchant category codes helps improve financial reporting.
