Customer-Initiated Installment Payment with
TMS

This section describes how to process an initial customer-initiated installment payment using
TMS
.
The first transaction in an installment payment is a customer-initiated transaction (CIT). Before you can perform a subsequent merchant-initiated transaction (MIT), you must store the customer's credentials for later use. Before you can store the user's credentials, you must get the customer's consent to store their private information. This process is also known as establishing a relationship with the customer.

Creating a
TMS
 Token

When sending the initial CIT, you can create a
TMS
 token to store the customer's credentials for the subsequent MITs. To create a
TMS
 token, include the
processingInformation.actionTokenTypes
 field in the authorization request. Set the field to one of these values based on the
TMS
 token type you want to create:
Customer
Customer tokens store one or more customer payment instrument tokens and shipping address tokens.
Including a customer token in subsequent MITs eliminates the need to include billing information, card information, and the previous transaction's ID.
"processingInformation": {
    "actionTokenTypes": [
      "customer"
]
Payment Instrument
Payment instrument tokens store an instrument identifier token, card information, and billing information. Payment instruments are not linked to a customer token. Including a payment instrument in subsequent MITs eliminates the need to include billing information, card information, and the previous transaction's ID.
"processingInformation": {
    "actionTokenTypes": [
      "paymentInstrument"
]
Instrument Identifier
Instrument identifier tokens store a PAN. Including an instrument identifier in subsequent MITs eliminates the need to include a PAN and the previous transaction's ID.
"processingInformation": {
    "actionTokenTypes": [
      "instrumentIdentifier"
]
You can also create multiple
TMS
 token types in the same authorization. This example includes an instrument identifier, a payment instrument, and a customer token in the same authorization:
Instrument Identifier, Payment Instrument, and Customer Identifier
 "processingInformation": {
    "actionTokenTypes": [
        "instrumentIdentifier",
        "paymentInstrument",
        "customer"
]
