Account Updater REST API Integration (Token/Batch Method)

Token/Batch Method integration is an alternative method for updating tokens available to merchants using our Card Not Present Integration Toolkit to integrate to the Bank of America Gateway. Using this method, the Account Updater service is managed via API. Token/Batch upload is a great option to check select tokens instead of all tokens on file. It is commonly used by businesses that charge only annually, or charge only active customer tokens or similar use cases. 

Using the Account Updater REST API (application interface), specific tokens (also known as subscriptions) are added to the batch and then the batch is uploaded to the card networks. 

Update reports are returned from the the card brands:

• For Visa and Mastercard, these batches produce one-off update reports.
• For tokens containing American Express cards, card numbers are enrolled for automatic updates for which reports are generated daily.

Tokens are removed automatically when deleted or updated to a different card type. 

For information on how to create batch files and responses please refer to the Account Updater Developer Guide: Bank of America Account Updater Developer Guide.
