Getting Started with Visa Stop Payment Service

Things to Know

The Visa Stop Payment Service (VSPS) enables Visa card issuers to stop card-on-file payments (including recurring and installment) from being authorized, cleared, and settled through VisaNet. The service can help provide Visa issuers with a method for handling cardholder stop payment requests.

It is important for the cardholder to understand that the use of VSPS by their issuer does not release the cardholder from any legal responsibilities to pay the merchant for goods or services as per their agreement with the merchant.

Participating issuers are responsible for any necessary cardholder notifications related hereto.

Visa retains the right to review your project's implementation of the VSPS APIs before on-boarding to ensure that they are being used appropriately.

Please refer to the VSPS Visa Online (VOL) page and the VSPS Implementation/User Guide for additional details on participation requirements and service descriptions.
