CyberSource REST API Recurring Payments or Installment Payments


CyberSource has the capability of doing Recurring Payments or Installment Payments, and there is detailed documentation on how to do this with the Simple Order API.

However, the REST API docs do not have an example of Recurring/Installment payments.

There is a recurringOptions object that has a firstRecurringPayment boolean. There is also an installmentInformation object, but the use of these things is unclear.

How do I use the REST API to initiate a Recurring Payment or Installment Payment?


Solution

  • Unfortunately the answer is lurking in the upgrade guide:

    Upcoming REST APIs

    • Fraud Management (Decision Manager)
    • Recurring Billing
    • Alternative Payments
    • PayPal
    • Tax Calculation

    So the "installment" options in the REST API are misleading. Recurring billing is not supported via this API as of October 2019.
