Processing Priority for Recurring Payments
Once network tokenization is enabled and a network token exists for a payment method, Zuora can process a recurring payment using three different methods.
Zuora processes these transaction in the following order of priority:
Network token
- Used whenever available and supported.
- Provides:
- An uplift in success rate
- Improved safety and security.
- Can be reused across multiple supported gateways, because it is issued by the card network.
- Gateway payment method identifier
- Used when a network token is not available or cannot be used.
- Is specific to one gateway:
- A gateway token from Gateway A cannot be used at Gateway B.
- If invalid, Zuora falls back to another method
Raw PAN
- Used when neither the network token nor the gateway payment method ID can be used.
- Provides a final way to attempt the transaction, but is the least preferred from a security and optimization standpoint.
