Use Case: Migrate Custom Payment Tokens from Another Platform

Prev Next

You can work with Payrix Pro to migrate tokenized payment methods for your Merchant’s customers from a pre-existing payments processor as part of your migration process. This time-saving step can help you transition quickly from another payment platform to Payrix Pro as a seamless experience for your Merchants and their customers. This tutorial walks you through the steps to perform the secure, one-time migration of your Merchants' customer payment tokens.

Objective

Migrate your existing customer tokens from another processor to Payrix Pro.


Audience

  • Partners

Environment

N/A


Prerequisites

Notes

  • A fully boarded Payrix Pro account to perform any of the actions described in the use case guides

  • The legal authority within your organization to initiate the transfer

  • The entity levels for each of your existing tokens (user or merchant)

  • An encrypted Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) server to facilitate token file transfers by you or your existing processor

Important notes

Important!

Token migration requires coordination with the existing processor and Payrix Pro operational teams. This process cannot be performed independently.

Tips

Tip

You will be notified when the migration is complete. At that time, you can request GET /tokens for the existing processor tokens to determine the new equivalent Payrix Pro Token IDs.

Tip

Request a copy of Payrix Pro’s most current Attestation of Compliance (AOC) and Report on Compliance (ROC) from your Partner Experience Manager before beginning the process to streamline the process of legal verification from your existing processor.

Subject: Request for Token Transfer to Payrix Pro

Dear [Processor Representative],

I am writing to formally request the transfer of tokenized customer payment methods from our existing processor, [Processor Company Name], to our new processor, Payrix Pro (WorldPay).

Reason for Transfer

Our decision to transition to Payrix Pro is driven by [insert reason(s)]. We believe this change will significantly benefit our overall payment processing experience.

Technical Requirements & Legal Compliance

The Payrix Pro Implementations Team will reach out to you to request the extracted token data in JSON file format or discuss another format that can be used for extracted token data, as well as the protocol to securely transfer the data using their public encryption key.

To help streamline the process, the Implementations Team can provide you with the current Payrix Pro PCI Attestation of Compliance to ensure adherence to legal regulations.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a successful transition.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
[Your Position]
[Your Contact Info]

Map the Token Data

After your tokens have been successfully submitted from your existing processor to Payrix Pro, Payrix Pro will migrate and map each token to a new Payrix Pro Token ID and Customer ID with associated customer information and related custom field data.

Link Tokens to their Associated Merchants

  1. Review your newly exported tokens, assigning them to their respective Merchants with the following information:

  • Merchant Name: The name of the Merchant who created and uses the token.  

  • Merchant ID: The Payrix Pro Merchant ID for the associated Merchant.  

  • User Login ID: The Payrix Pro User ID that determines whether the account is a Partner or Merchant.  

  • Import Level: Whether the custom field data is mapped to the Merchant account or a Merchant user.  

  • Original Processor: The existing processor’s name and information.  

  • File: The existing Token file, attached or linked from an SFTP server.  

  1. Submit an Implementation Services ticket for Token Transfer Request migrate the newly exported tokens, assigning them to their respective Merchants' collected information above.  

    Example migration request email message

    Hello,

    Please complete a token migration request for this merchant. Token transfer information is below.

    • Merchant Name: Beverly’s Salon

    • Merchant ID: t1_mer_abcxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    • User Login ID: t1_log_123xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    • Import Level: Merchant

    • Original Processor: GreatPay

    • File: [One or more SFTP links to tokens associated with this Merchant.]

Result: You have now successfully migrated your Merchants' customer payment tokens. These tokens will be available for use as saved payment methods for customers, receiving new Payrix Pro-generated IDs for each token and customer respectively, and then each is assigned to their associated Merchants.
