Storing Customer Credentials with a CIT and PAN {#credentials-cit-storing-intro}
================================================================================

Before you can perform a merchant-initiated transaction (MIT) or a customer-initiated transaction (CIT) with credentials-on-file (COF), you must store the customer's credentials for later use. Further, before you can store the user's credentials, you must get the customer's consent to store their private information. This is also known as establishing a relationship with the customer.
