# Merchant Profiles

A `merchant_profile` links a `merchant` to it's `risk_profile` and `fee_profile`. Each `merchant` has a `merchant_profile`. <br/><br/> When a `merchant` gets created, a `merchant_profile` also gets created. This new `merchant_profile` automatically receives a new `risk_profile` and `fee_profile` that are copies of the risk and fee profiles on the `application_profile`. <br/><br/> Related Guides: [Collecting Fees](/guides/platform-payments/seller-payouts/collecting-seller-fees)
