Merchant Profiles

A merchant_profile links a merchant to it's risk_profile and fee_profile. Each merchant has a merchant_profile.

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.
