Customer-Initiated Recurring Payment with PAN
A recurring payment is a credentials-on-file (COF) transaction in a series of
payments that you bill to a customer at a fixed amount, at regular intervals that do
not exceed one year between transactions. The series of recurring payments is the
result of an agreement between you and the customer for the purchase of goods or
services that are provided at regular intervals.
Mastercard uses standing order and subscription payments instead of recurring
payments. See Mastercard Standing Order Payments and
Mastercard Subscription Payments.
Prerequisites
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
customer's credentials, you must get their consent to store their private
information. This is also known as establishing a relationship with the
customer.
