About This Guide

Audience

This guide is written for merchants and partners who want to keep stored card data updated for recurring payments and credentials-on-file payments. You can store card data within your system or within the CyberSource tokenization system, which includes Recurring Billing, Token Management Service, and the legacy Payment Tokenization.

Purpose

This guide describes tasks that a merchant or partner must complete in order to submit a batch of tokens using the REST API (see Token Updates) or in order to upload request files with new customer primary account numbers (PANs) (see PAN Updates). It is intended to help the merchant or partner reduce the number of authorization declines to retain revenue and reduce the cost of manually updating payment data.
