Creating buyers & payment methods on import

For each unique buyer ID in the token import file, a new buyer record is created in your instance. All fields that are passed in for the buyer are linked to the respective fields of a buyer record.

Similarly, for each payment method in the token import file, a new payment method record is created in your instance. Additionally, if a buyer is present the payment method is linked to the created buyer. The buyer’s external_identifier field retains the value you passed in the import file and a unique internal ID field is produced as a part of the import process.

Merchant advice file

Once all tokens, buyer, and payment methods were imported, a Merchant Advice File (example) is provided which logs the successful and unsuccessful imports of all resources as part of this process.

• For each row attempted, a corresponding log item is shown with an audit reference tag
• The ID for each created buyer record created is outputted
• The ID for each created payment method created is outputted
• A list of failures and validation errors is outputted
