Customer-Initiated Transactions with Credentials on
File
A customer-initiated transaction (CIT) is a transaction initiated by the customer. There
are two types of CIT transactions:
- Customer transactions where the credentials are stored for future merchant initiated transactions
- Customer transactions where the credentials are stored for future customer initiated transaction
Customers can initiate a CIT at a merchant payment terminal, through an online purchase
transaction, or by making a purchase using a previously stored credential.
