Cybersource

Recurring Billing, ensure these prerequisites are met.

Understanding of Recurring Billing Subscription Management: Understand Recurring Billing subscription management in the Cybersource system. Review these guides for details:
Recurring Billing Developer Guide
Recurring Billing User Guide

Cybersource Token Management Service is Configured with a Token Vault: Recurring Billing requires that you have a
Cybersource
account with a properly configured Token Management Service (TMS) at the transacting MID level and with a configured token vault.
For details, see the
Token Management Service Developer Guide
.

Customer Tokens from Your Current Provider Are in the Cybersource TMS: Cybersource
Recurring Billing uses only the customer token
type. The customer tokens from your current subscriptions provider must be in
Cybersource
TMS before you begin to migrate subscription data from that provider to the
Cybersource
system.; IMPORTANT

Token migration from a system outside the
Cybersource
system is a separate process that requires coordination with your
Cybersource
Account Manager.
