Tokenization

If you are already using TMS or Recurring Billing, Account Updater is simple to integrate. You will benefit from token updates from Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

IMPORTANT

If you are using tokens that preserve the last four digits, the new PAN updates that you receive from card networks result in the token (subscription ID) being changed. When you receive the new tokens in the update report, you should update them in your system immediately to avoid authorization failures.

IMPORTANT

Account Updater is incompatible with instrument identifier tokens that are 22-digits in length.

All Barclays Merchant Services clients have the option to create and use customer tokens and billing tokens. These are tokenized, secure instruments for storing customer and card data. If you use the token Harvest or the token batch update method for Account Updater, the service will update your customer tokens and billing tokens.

To use this service you must generate the REST API keys in the key management section of the

Smartpay Fuse Portal

. Contact your Barclays representative if you do not have this option enabled for your account. Find more details on authenticating API requests on the Developer Center.
