Description
A change in the current regulations requires that transactions relating to a subscription are chained to an existing transaction. It's called chained transactions.
This section explains how to chained transaction for the subscriptions already in progress on 01/01/2022.
Setting up the chained transactions requires the management of an additional parameter in the payment request, the schemeReferenceID, which will be populated with the chaining value.
Updating subscriptions goes through 2 steps:
- Initiate the chaining (ex: January): Send a payment request with a chaining value defined by the customer’s card brand (CB, VISA, MC) and store the chaining value received in the answer
- Send chained transactions (ex: February, March...): Send a payment request with the chaining value received in response of the chaining initialization
