Introduction to Upgrading the Recurring Billing Service
Cybersource
replaced the legacy Recurring Billing service with an
upgraded Recurring Billing service. You can access the service in the Business Center
only, or you can access it in the Business Center
along with REST API for Recurring
Billing, and the Token Management Service
(TMS
).IMPORTANT
The Recurring Billing service is available through the
REST
API only. The service is not supported by the SCMP
API
or the Simple Order
API. If you create and manage subscriptions using the SCMP
API or the Simple Order
API, you must integrate to the Recurring
Billing service that uses the REST API. Use the upgraded Recurring Billing service to manage payment plans and subscriptions for
recurring payment schedules. TMS stores your customers' payment information and personal data
within secure Visa data centers, reducing storage risks and Payment Card Industry Data
Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance scope.
These are some of the ways the upgraded Recurring Billing service benefits merchants and
customers:
• Reducing the effort required to manage automated payments and payment card updates
• Decreasing late payments by using scheduled, recurring payments
• Improving customer relationships with a smoother, more reliable online experience
• Lowering costs and minimizing waste through streamlined payment processes
• Enhancing security by protecting payment information with tokenization
