Token Updates

You can arrange for Account Updater to harvest and update all of your tokens on an agreed-upon date; this is called the

token harvest update

method. You must retrieve a monthly report for Visa and Mastercard updates and a daily update report

if you are enrolled

for American Express Cardrefresher.

Account Updater requires card number and expiration dates, so the token harvest option is available only when you use the

customer

or

payment instrument

tokens.

Instrument identifier

tokens that are not associated with a

customer

or

payment instrument

token are not updated.

The Account Updater REST API enables you to selectively send a POST request for a batch of tokens (subscription IDs) for American Express cards to be enrolled, processed, and updated. This is called the

token batch update

method.

Both options use the standard REST API HTTP signature authentication method.
