OVERVIEW
In the event that a customer is churning or wishes to transfer their current subscriber to the New Vendor, we have the ability to extract their subscription details which is saved in our system and give the token over to the New Vendor. The process typically takes about up to 10 weeks.
RELIABILITY
Migrating active subscriber/subscription data from the system and handing over the existing tokens via our existing Payment Processors to the New Vendor. When the data has been migrated, the Seller is accountable for the cancellation of subscriptions on the System in order to prevent any accidental billings or customer complaints.
Scope
- Handing over active subscriber information to Seller.
- Coordinating with our current Payment Processor as well as our Seller's New Vendor for payment token migration.
- We are only transferring Credit Card tokens; due to compliance and regulations, we cannot migrate PayPal tokens.
PROCEDURE
Subscription migration involves the following five stages:
- We will give active subscribers and subscriber lists, based on the type of payment method and processors.
- They will issue the processor with a signed Letter of Interest (LOI) for the processing company, indicating the export of the token to the New Vendor; The LOI will differ from Processor the Processor.
- Connect the Seller, New Vendor, and current Payment Processor for token migration.
2.a. Current Processor will verify the AOC and other PCI related data of the New Vendor.
2.b. Once PCI verification Processor has been completed, we will provide New Vendor with appropriate information on next steps in transition and timeframes. This includes (but does not limit itself to):
- Specific transport protocols for processors that allows the transfer and reception of token files. The process could also require the sharing of PGP keys (Public).
- Schema for the file the vendor should expect and appropriate mapping ( should provide the key/attribute for tokens).
- Specific steps taken by the processor to encode and decrypt the information.
- Tokens will be handed over to the new vendor by the current Processor.
- Seller is able to deactivate their active subscription on system in order to prevent double billing.
PREREQUISITES
