`x-signature`	✓	HMAC SHA512 authentication signature. See How to generate the signature.
`x-request-timestamp`	✓	Time the request is sent (format: `yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS`, UTC+7)

Body Parameter

Field	Type	Required	Description
`merchantId`	number	✕	Merchant ID. (Required if you connect with a Master Merchant account).
