Each payment method enables you to store data securely in a customer subscription. If you are using the Other payment method, you must use CyberSource API services to submit a customer subscription request. This payment method is useful if you do not intend to use the customer subscription for payment transactions.
You can include two types of data storage fields in a customer subscription:
nEncrypted data fields 1 to 4—CyberSource encrypts this data before storing it in the database. The validation performed on these fields is a size check. Fields 1 to 3 are string (100) and the fourth field is string (2K). You can include any data in the encrypted fields.
nMerchant-defined data fields 1 to 4—CyberSource does not encrypt these fields before storing them in the database. Legal limitations exist on the type of data that you can include in the unencrypted fields.

Merchant-defined data fields are not intended to and MUST NOT be used to capture personally identifying information. Accordingly, merchants are prohibited from capturing, obtaining, and/or transmitting any personally identifying information in or via the merchant-defined data fields. Personally identifying information includes, but is not limited to, card number, social security number, driver's license number, state-issued identification number, passport number, and card verification numbers (CVV, CVC2, CVV2, CID, CVN). In the event CyberSource discovers that a merchant is capturing and/or transmitting personally identifying information via the merchant-defined data fields, intentionally or not, CyberSource WILL immediately suspend the merchant's account, which will result in a rejection of any and all transaction requests submitted by the merchant after the point of suspension. |

When you create a customer subscription based on an existing transaction, the merchant-defined data fields are not transferred to the new customer subscription. |
