PIN Debit Integration

Follow these steps to integrate PIN debit processing:

Contact Cybersource or your acquirer to determine whether you are eligible to process PIN debit transactions. As part of this process, the debit networks might require you to complete applications.

Determine whether Cybersource or your acquirer requires any additional banking information from you.

Determine whether you must comply with any special debit network requirements when processing PIN debit transactions. For example, some networks require that you verify the customer's identity before processing the payment.

Contact customer support so that your Cybersource account can be configured for PIN debit transactions.
