CardSync How It Works

At regular intervals, select the data that will be used for billing in the upcoming cycle. Submit the data batches to CardSync and within a few days, you’ll have updates for all data that has been changed — either new card data, a confirmation the existing card is valid, or an indication that the card has been closed.

FAQs

Here are some common questions and answers to help you get started.

Please fill out our contact form here. We’ll get you set up with an API key and you can test out the API immediately in our sandbox. We’ll be in touch to get your production account set up.

As a RESTful API, CardSync is platform-neutral. So you can use CardSync from any system that can make REST API calls over HTTPS.

Our batch update process allows you to trigger updates at any time. Results may take up to five business days to be returned, so this API is not intended to be used in real-time.

In the US, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover are supported. American Express will be supported in early 2021. Internationally, those same brands, are supported depending on the issuing bank’s participation. For all cards issued in North America, we support Visa, MasterCard, Discover, JCB, Union Pay, as well as American Express’s Card Refresher. Cards issued internationally are supported if the specific Card Issuer is participating with the Card Brand. Card Issuer participation is 100% in North America and continues to increase internationally.

After submitting a batch of card number inquiries, CardSync communicates to all respective card issuers for any updates. Results can appear within hours, but the full batch can take up to five business days to complete.

CardSync Account Updater is available worldwide.

Yes, CardSync Account Updater will work even if you manage your own cards. Card data needs to be in a PCI-DSS compliant environment. PCI AOC will be required. You maintain control over your own data. You’ll simply pass inquiry batches.

Generally speaking, for a recurring charge service, you should request updates one to two weeks prior to the billing date. For card on file updates, you should submit inquiries monthly or on your average transaction cycle.
