Initial CIT Unscheduled COF Payment

The first transaction in an unscheduled COF 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 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 unscheduled COF 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 field to
internet
.
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.
