Working with a Technology Partner

You can authorize a technology partner's solution to process transactions on behalf of your merchants. To authorize a solution, you must grant a transacting merchant account permission to use the

partner solution key

associated with the solution. You can give your transacting merchants permission to use a key by onboarding a new merchant or updating an existing merchant with the key information.

Cybersource

also ensures that the registered solution only performs actions authorized by your merchants.

This section describes how to onboard or update a transacting merchant account with a partner solution key.
