Account Updater

This section describes how to use this guide and where to find further information.

Audience and Purpose: This guide is written for merchants and partners who want to keep stored card data updated for recurring payments and credentials-on-file payments. It describes tasks that a merchant or partner must complete to submit a batch of tokens using the REST API or to upload request files with new customer primary account numbers (PANs). Account Updater is intended to help you reduce the number of authorization declines to retain revenue and reduce the cost of manually updating payment data. You can store card data within your system or within the tokenization system, the Token Management Service, and the legacy Payment Tokenization.
