Recurring

It is only applicable to first recurring transaction (Save Credentials) Scenario.

Recurring payments consist of two types of transactions: the initial (or first) recurring transaction and subsequent transactions.

Initial or First Recurring Transaction (Save Credentials)

The first recurring transaction occurs when the cardholder engages in a face-to-face transaction with the merchant. The cardholder agrees for the merchant to retain the credentials and proceed with subsequent transactions at a fixed or variable frequency.

Subsequent Transactions

Subsequent transactions are where a merchant automatically charges a cardholder for specified goods or services that they have previously agreed to in the initial transaction, without having to re-engage the cardholder (cardholder not present) until the predefined or agreed-upon time frame is reached.

These are the different types of recurring payments based on the certainty of the amount and frequency of the transactions:

Fixed amount and fixed frequency

Variable amount and variable frequency, Variable amount and fixed frequency or Fixed amount and variable frequency.

Save Credentials

paymentMethod.type: The fixed value card indicates the payment type as card.
