Copy payment info

Overview

Copy card-on-file data available in the 2Checkout system from a source subscription to an imported target subscription. 2Checkout uses the existing payment information to charge customers as a part of the recurring billing (renewal) process.

Use the copyPaymentInfo method.

Requirements

The imported target subscription and the source subscription must belong to the same customer. The 2Checkout system checks to make sure that the 2Checkout Customer Reference (an internal identifier) coincides with the customer accounts associated with the target and source subscriptions.

Availability

Please contact 2Checkout directly if you wish to take advantage of this feature.

How does this method work?

1. Customer A purchases Subscription A using a VISA credit card and you import Subscription B for the same customer with no data or with an AMEX card.
2. When 2Checkout renews Subscription A, it charges Customer A using the VISA, while using the AMEX (if the data was provided) for Subscription B charges.
3. When you copy the payment data from Subscription A to Subscription B, the 2Checkout system uses the VISA credit card to renew both subscriptions according to their respective recurring billing cycles. 2Checkout charges customers during the recurring billing process for the imported target subscription using the payment method they used to purchase the source subscription.
