Recurring Billing

The Recurring Billing service enables you to manage payment plans and subscriptions for recurring payment schedules. It automates the storage and handling of your customer’s payment information and personal data within secure Visa data centers in compliance with credentials-on-file (COF) best practices. Storage risks and the PCI DSS scope are reduced through the use of
the
Token Management Service
 (
TMS
)
.

 Recurring Billing consists of these three elements:
  • Token
    : stores customer billing, shipping, and payment details.
  • Plan
    : stores the billing schedule.
  • Subscription
    : combines the token and plan and defines the subscription start date, name, and description.
Recurring Billing is available using the REST API. For information about REST, see the
Cybersource
 Hello world sandbox at the Developer Center.
