Merchant-Initiated Unscheduled COF Payments with PAN

After the initial CIT unscheduled COF payment, subsequent unscheduled COF transactions are merchant-initiated transactions (MITs).

Prerequisites

The first transaction in an unscheduled COF 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 must get the customer's consent to store their private information. This process is also known as establishing a relationship with the customer.

Supported Card Types

These are the supported card types for processing credentialed transactions:
  • American Express
  • Mastercard
  • Visa
