+## ✅ **GETMERCHANTS ENHANCEMENT COMPLETED** - July 28, 2025, 9:15 AM
+
+### **Enhancement Status:** ✅ **COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY**
+
+The getMerchants functionality has been completely enhanced with improved API design, dynamic language support, and full backward compatibility.
+
+### **Key Improvements Implemented:**
+
+#### **1. Method Renamed for Better API Design** ✅
+- **BEFORE**: `getMultilingualMerchants()` - Confusing name
+- **AFTER**: `getMerchants()` - Clean, intuitive API
+
+#### **2. All Parameters Made Optional** ✅
+**Before (All Required):**
+```swift
+getMultilingualMerchants(
+    categories: [String],           // Required but unused
+    defaultShown: Bool,            // Required but unused
+    center: Double,                // Required but unused
+    tags: [String],                // Required but unused
+    uuid: String,                  // Required but unused
+    distance: Int,                 // Required but unused
+    parentUuids: [String],         // Required but unused
+    completion: @escaping ([MerchantModel]?) -> Void
+)
+```
+
+**After (All Optional with Sensible Defaults):**
+```swift
+getMerchants(
+    language: String? = nil,        // NEW: Optional language parameter
+    categories: [String] = [],      // Optional with default
+    defaultShown: Bool = false,     // Optional with default
+    center: Double = 0.0,          // Optional with default
+    tags: [String] = [],           // Optional with default
+    uuid: String = "",             // Optional with default
+    distance: Int = 0,             // Optional with default
+    parentUuids: [String] = [],    // Optional with default
+    completion: @escaping ([MerchantModel]?) -> Void
+)
+```
+
+#### **3. Dynamic Language Support Added** ✅
+**Fixed in Endpoints.swift:**
+```swift
+// BEFORE (Hardcoded)
+"language": "el"
+
+// AFTER (Dynamic)
+"language": language  // Passed from WarplySDK method
+```
+
+**Added Language Default Logic in WarplySDK.swift:**
+```swift
+// Handle language default inside the method
+let finalLanguage = language ?? self.applicationLocale
+```
+
+#### **4. Async/Await Variant Added** ✅
+```swift
+public func getMerchants(
+    language: String? = nil,
+    categories: [String] = [],
+    defaultShown: Bool = false,
+    center: Double = 0.0,
+    tags: [String] = [],
+    uuid: String = "",
+    distance: Int = 0,
+    parentUuids: [String] = []
+) async throws -> [MerchantModel]
+```
+
+#### **5. 100% Backward Compatibility Maintained** ✅
+```swift
+@available(*, deprecated, renamed: "getMerchants")
+public func getMultilingualMerchants(...) {
+    // Automatically forwards to new getMerchants method
+}
+```
+
+### **Usage Examples After Enhancement:**
+
+#### **Simple Usage (Most Common):**
+```swift
+// Uses applicationLocale automatically
+WarplySDK.shared.getMerchants { merchants in
+    // Handle merchants in default language
+}
+
+// Async/await version
+let merchants = try await WarplySDK.shared.getMerchants()
+```
+
+#### **With Explicit Language:**
+```swift
+// Specify language explicitly
+WarplySDK.shared.getMerchants(language: "en") { merchants in
+    // Handle merchants in English
+}
+```
+
+#### **Advanced Usage:**
+```swift
+// With language and other parameters
+WarplySDK.shared.getMerchants(
+    language: "en",
+    categories: ["restaurant"],
+    defaultShown: true
+) { merchants in
+    // Handle merchants
+}
+```
+
+### **Files Modified:**
+1. **`SwiftWarplyFramework/SwiftWarplyFramework/Network/Endpoints.swift`** - Added language parameter to enum case and made request body dynamic
+2. **`SwiftWarplyFramework/SwiftWarplyFramework/Core/WarplySDK.swift`** - Added new getMerchants method with optional parameters, language default handling, async/await variant, and deprecated wrapper
+
+### **Enhancement Benefits:**
+- ✅ **Better Developer Experience**: Simple `getMerchants()` call for most use cases
+- ✅ **Dynamic Language Support**: Language now comes from applicationLocale by default
+- ✅ **Backward Compatibility**: Existing code continues to work unchanged
+- ✅ **Consistent API Pattern**: Follows same pattern as other SDK methods
+- ✅ **Future-Proof**: Optional parameters ready for when API supports filtering
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 **NEXT STEPS - COUPON FILTERING IMPLEMENTATION**
+
+Now that getMerchants is enhanced and ready, we can proceed with the original task of implementing coupon filtering in MyRewardsViewController.
+
+### **Phase 1: Add getMerchantCategories Endpoint** 🔄
+
+Based on your original request, we need to add 2 more requests. The first should be getMerchantCategories:
+
+#### **1.1 Add getMerchantCategories to Endpoints.swift**
+```swift
+// Add to enum
+case getMerchantCategories(language: String)
+
+// Add path
+case .getMerchantCategories:
+    return "/api/mobile/v2/{appUUID}/merchant_categories/"  // Your curl endpoint
+
+// Add parameters
+case .getMerchantCategories(let language):
+    return [
+        "categories": [
+            "language": language,
+            "action": "retrieve_multilingual"  // Based on your curl structure
+        ]
+    ]
+```
+
+#### **1.2 Add getMerchantCategories to WarplySDK.swift**
+```swift
+public func getMerchantCategories(
+    language: String? = nil,
+    completion: @escaping ([MerchantCategoryModel]?) -> Void,
+    failureCallback: @escaping (Int) -> Void
+) {
+    let finalLanguage = language ?? self.applicationLocale
+    // Implementation similar to getMerchants
+}
+```
+
+#### **1.3 Create MerchantCategoryModel**
+```swift
+public class MerchantCategoryModel: NSObject {
+    private var uuid: String?
+    private var name: String?
+    private var description: String?
+    
+    public var _uuid: String { get { return self.uuid ?? "" } }
+    public var _name: String { get { return self.name ?? "" } }
+    public var _description: String { get { return self.description ?? "" } }
+}
+```
+
+### **Phase 2: Implement Coupon Filtering Logic** 🔄
+
+#### **2.1 Update MyRewardsViewController**
+```swift
+// Add filtering logic in MyRewardsViewController
+private func filterCouponSets() {
+    // 1. Get coupon sets
+    WarplySDK.shared.getCouponSets { couponSets in
+        // 2. Get merchants for each coupon set
+        // 3. Get merchant categories
+        // 4. Filter coupon sets by category
+        // 5. Create sections based on categories
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### **2.2 Create Category-Based Sections**
+```swift
+// Example filtering logic
+private func createCategorySections(couponSets: [CouponSetItemModel], merchants: [MerchantModel], categories: [MerchantCategoryModel]) {
+    var sections: [SectionModel] = []
+    
+    for category in categories {
+        // Filter merchants by category
+        let categoryMerchants = merchants.filter { $0._category_uuid == category._uuid }
+        
+        // Filter coupon sets by merchant
+        let categoryCouponSets = couponSets.filter { couponSet in
+            return categoryMerchants.contains { merchant in
+                merchant._uuid == couponSet._merchant_uuid
+            }
+        }
+        
+        if !categoryCouponSets.isEmpty {
+            let section = SectionModel(
+                sectionType: .myRewardsHorizontalCouponsets,
+                title: category._name,
+                items: categoryCouponSets,
+                itemType: .couponSets
+            )
+            sections.append(section)
+        }
+    }
+    
+    self.sections = sections
+    DispatchQueue.main.async {
+        self.tableView.reloadData()
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **Phase 3: Testing & Validation** 🔄
+
+#### **3.1 Test getMerchantCategories**
+- Verify endpoint returns category data
+- Test language parameter works correctly
+- Validate MerchantCategoryModel parsing
+
+#### **3.2 Test Filtering Logic**
+- Verify coupon sets are correctly filtered by merchant category
+- Test section creation with real data
+- Validate UI updates correctly
+
+#### **3.3 Integration Testing**
+- Test complete flow: getCouponSets → getMerchants → getMerchantCategories → filtering
+- Verify performance with real data volumes
+- Test error handling for each API call
