Prerequisites

Before you begin using the upgraded Recurring Billing service, make sure that the prerequisites are completed:

Understand how you currently use the legacy Recurring Billing service.

Understand the actions required by Cybersource and, if relevant, your reseller.

Integrate to the upgraded Recurring Billing using the REST API.

Integrate to Payments using the REST API.

Become familiar with the Business Center interface for the upgraded Recurring Billing service.

Contact Cybersource customer support to begin migrating your legacy Recurring Billing data (tokens and subscriptions) to the new Recurring Billing service.

Cybersource migrates all active legacy Recurring Billing tokens to TMS. Canceled, On Hold, or Completed subscriptions are not included in the migration. After the migration to the new Recurring Billing platform, historical data about the subscriptions is no longer available.

Be sure to look at the migration TEST checklist to ensure that all your pre/post payment processing processes work with the new system
