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.

Supported Card Types

These are the supported card types for processing credentialed transactions:
  • American Express
  • Visa
Mastercard uses standing order and subscription payments instead of recurring payments. See Mastercard Standing Order Payments and Mastercard Subscription Payments.

Recurring Billing Service for Recurring Payments

Do not use this document for the Recurring Billing service.
Use the
Recurring Billing Developer Guide
. When you use the Recurring Billing service,
Cybersource
saves and stores payment credentials for recurring transactions, ensuring compliance with COF best practices.

Address Verification Service for Recurring Payments

If your processor supports the Address Verification Service (AVS), then the AVS should verify every authorization request.
Cybersource
recommends checking the AVS's results for the first recurring payment to ensure that the payment information is accurate and to reduce the risk of fraud.
You must determine how to handle the AVS results for any subsequent recurring payments that are not the same as the already-verified billing address information from the first recurring payment.
