Cardholder Data Import
We are happy to import your sensitive customer data from any other payment processor. To initiate the process, you will need to request a data export from your current provider and ask them to transfer the data to us via a secure connection.
Data Transfer Process
Our preferred data transfer process:
- We will get in touch with your old provider and provide them with a public encryption Key(link to PGP Key).
- We will ask your old provider to provide an encryption Key, so we can send them the SFTP credentials for upload.
- Your old provider will encrypt the data with our encryption Key and load the data to the TILL SFTP server.
- We will perform the data import.
Once the import is complete, we will provide you with a newline-delimited JSON, with each line containing the old and the new reference ID of one card.
Sample:
{ “newReferenceId”: ”abcdefghijklmnopqr”, ”oldReferenceId”: “388333B”, customerId: “AT-2938938” }
{ “newReferenceId”: ”8291edi3ndidn393un”, ”oldReferenceId”: “7837373”, customerId: “DE-3838832” }
Data Format
The data shall be provided in CSV or JSON with UTF-8 encoding. The provided data must follow the following conventions. Data provided in a different format may cause importing delays.
Note: The encrypted file may not exceed the file size of 25 Megabytes. Please split the file into several chunks if it exceeds the file size limit.
