Initial CIT Installment Payment with a PAN

This section explains how to process an initial customer-initiated transaction (CIT) installment payment with a primary account number (PAN).
The first transaction in an installment payment is a customer-initiated transaction (CIT). Before you can perform a subsequent merchant-initiated transaction (MIT), you must store the customer's credentials for later use. Before you can store the user's credentials, you must get the customer's consent to store their private information. This process is also known as establishing a relationship with the customer.

Fields Specific to this Use Case

Include the following information with a standard authorization request when storing customer credentials during the initial CIT installment payment:
processingInformation.authorizationOptions.initiator.credentialStoredOnFile
Set the field to
true
to indicate the customer credentials will be stored for future use.
processingInformation.authorizationOptions.initiator.type
Set the field to
customer
to indicate this transaction is a customer-initiated initial transaction.
processingInformation.commerceIndicator
Set the transaction type to
internet
or a payer authentication value.
NOTE
In the CIT authorization response, capture the value in the
processorInformation.networkTransactionId
field. You must include the network transaction ID in subsequent MIT authorization requests.
