How to Enroll and Manage Customer Data

Introduction

To simplify the integration efforts for Issuers, a common set of Visa APIs has been developed to allow Issuers to enroll payment instruments to Click to Pay and in the future other Visa products. Issuers can now enroll and manage customer and payment instrument(s) information for Click to Pay using this API set.

How It Works

Enrollment

  • Client submits enrollment data and indicates the product to enroll it to
  • Visa enrolls the data to the relevant product
  • Client retrieves the status of the request
  • Clients receives notification if consumer attempts to enroll to Click to Pay

Management of Customer Information

  • Clients send a request to update / delete / retrieve data and indicates whether it applies to specific product or both
  • Visa updates / retrieves / deletes the data on the relevant product
  • Client retrieves the status of the request 

API Overview

The APIs allow clients to modify the following categories of data.

Category Description Examples

Enroll Data

  • The Enroll Data API allows clients to submit data and specify the service for the data to be enrolled into. 
  • The consumerInformation.externalConsumerID is the unique resource for identifying the consumer and is provided by the issuer. 
  • Below is an example of a Click to Pay enrollment request body.
{
    "intent": {
        "type": "PRODUCT_CODE",
        "value": "CLICK_TO_PAY"
    },
    "consumerInformation": {
        "externalConsumerID": "63421837-d597-4f0f-89e4-930c1a7b9e85",

Validations and Processing Logic

This section describes some rules that Click to Pay applies when processing the request it receives via Visa ID and Credentials platform.  Note: This section provides an overview of the validations and processing logic applied when an API request is received, it does not replace the API specification.

Visa ID and Credentials APIs perform initial checks on the parameters and follow some rules before securely passing the request to products like Click to Pay. It will return an error if  the following conditions occur.

  • value provided is not supported
  • value provided did not meet the length restriction

  • entitlement checks failed
  • prior request is currently in-progress
  • the consumer already exist – for Enroll Data
  • the consumer does not exist – for Enroll Payment Instruments, Manage Consumer Information, Manage Payment Instruments Data, Get Data, Delete Consumer Information, and Delete Payment Instruments Data

Once the initial checks have been performed by Visa ID and Credentials APIs, request is passed to Click to Pay and further validations and processing logic is applied as detailed below.

Table 6. Consumer Information – Manage Consumer Information Data request

Manage Payment Instrument Data

Click to Pay applies the following rules when processing Manage Payment Instruments Data request that was forwarded by Visa ID and Credential API.

This API will only update existing payment instrument data. It will not delete any payment instruments from the consumer record. If the accountNumber provided matches a payment instrument from the consumer record, then the updates will only be applied to that payment instrument.

For maintaining the latest state of the consumer’s payment instrument information in Click to Pay without unintentional updates to other data fields, Issuers should invoke the Get Data API prior to the Manage Payment Instruments Data API and populate all data fields correctly.

The following data fields will not be updated via this API even if a different value is provided in the request – accountNumber and expirationDate. Click to Pay will throw an error

  • If the accountNumber provided does not exist in the consumer record.
  • If the expirationDate provided is different from what is stored for the payment instrument that matches the accountNumber provided in the request.

For consumer information data, Click to Pay will throw an error when the following conditions are met.

Note: There is no re-activate option for the deleted consumer.

FAQs

1. What is externalConsumerID?

  • externalConsumerID is a consumer ID that is a unique identifier of the consumer from the Issuer’s perspective. This is distinct from any payment instrument identifier as multiple payment instruments may be associated to a single externalConsumerID.  It should be generated / provided by the Issuer. The ID provides the link between enrollment and data management functions to ensure that updates are applied to the correct consumer record.

2. Can I enroll into products separately through the common API?

  • The unified solution currently provides the capability to enrol onto a single product in a single API call. To enroll into Click to Pay, the intent field must include the Product Code “CLICK_TO_PAY”.

3. Do I need to check consumer provided data before sending it to Visa?

  • Issuers must only enroll or update consumer and payment instrument related data for their own customers which they know to be accurate. It is the Issuer's responsibility to perform relevant KYC checks on their customer and address data and to validate the consumer has access to all email addresses and phone numbers supplied over the API. The Issuer is solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all data provided to Visa, including the validity of the payment instrument(s), that the payment instrument(s) belongs to the enrolled consumer, and that the correct email/phone is matched with the payment instrument(s).

4. As an Issuer who is already integrated to Click to Pay via VCEH, do I need to migrate to this common API solution?

  • Issuers that have an existing VCEH integration for Click to Pay enrollment can continue to use VCEH for card enrollment. Please contact you Visa representative for further information on the use of VCEH for card enrollment in conjunction with this API for consumer data management.

5. Is billing address a required field for Click to Pay?

  • Issuers are required to provide the complete billing address when enrolling cards to Click to Pay.
  • In the API specification, the sub-fields of the billing address are defined as optional as they are not required by all products offered via the Visa ID & Credentials APIs.
