When selecting to sign up for First Data as your payment provider, you are selecting First Data to be used as a payment provider on the TSYS network. You will need to apply for an account either online or by phone with First Data. First Data will then contact the Customer to finalize the setup process of their merchant account. If you had a previous account with First Data, bring this to the attention of the First Data team to work with you on possibly using that existing account. The merchant account setup process does not involve Microsoft and all questions should be directed to First Data support at 888-231-9689.
