| + | ====== Account Updater ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | “Account Updater” refers to Secure Tokens saved on %CompanyName’s system, which have had their Cardholder details updated electronically via “Visa Account Updater” (VAU), and “Mastercard Automatic Billing Updater” (ABU) respectively. This is a process which helps to ensure a smooth automatic billing cycle by minimising payment disruptions due to account changes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Example Use Case: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Customers Secure Token is saved to the gateway. | ||
| + | * A monthly subscription is created for the customer. | ||
| + | * Time passes, and eventually the card expires. | ||
| + | * %CompanyName sends a request to Mastercard or Visa asking for the new card details. | ||
| + | * Visa/Mastercard sends the updated card details back to %CompanyName. | ||
| + | * The customers card (Secure Token) is updated with new info. | ||
| + | * Next months subscription won’t be affected because we now have the correct card details stored for the customer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Account Updater Background Notification ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Account Updater Background Notification (AUBN) is a tool that enables merchants to receive the updated card details. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The merchants will receive the information below: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * New expiry date. | ||
| + | * New card number, if it has been changed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Secure Token Custom Fields (SCCFs)** | ||
| + | |||
| + | At the moment, Secure Token custom fields are only useful with Account Updater Background Notifications. Because of this, SCCFs are only editable/viewable when Account Updater Background Notifications are Enabled. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **SCCFs Limit** | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Each terminal can have a maximum of 3 SCCFs. | ||
| + | * These fields are useful for any custom data the merchant wants to record about the customer for example: accounting software related data. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **To create SCCFs on the %SelfCare System** | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once the Secure Token Custom Fields are set, they will be displayed when adding or editing a Secure Token in %SelfCare system. | ||
