Initial CIT Recurring Payment
The first transaction in a recurring payment is a customer-initiated transaction (CIT).
Before you can perform a subsequent merchant-initiated transaction (MIT), you must store
the customer's credentials for later use. Before you can store the user's credentials,
you need to get the customer's consent to store their private information. This is also
known as establishing a relationship with the customer.
