  • Sign up and manage customers

  • Update customer information

  • Capture payment method details using hosted payments form

  • Load and get payment schedules

    is the process of loading a customer and associated information (for example account, payment method and payment schedules) into the Debitsuccess payment platform so that Debitsuccess can debit that customer.

    There are a number of ways that you can onboard customers including SOAP web services, RESTful API, and Debitsuccess hosted forms: Online Management Gateway (OMG) and Web Direct Entry (WDE). Below are more details about each of those methods and some example use cases.

    SOAP Web Services

    The SOAP web services provide a set of methods for onboarding customers. It allows you to either make a single request to load all required information or make multiple requests depending on your process and requirements (for example you may use PostCustomerAccount to load customer, account and schedule information but then use the DS hosted form (initiated by calling GetPaymentToken) to capture the payment method information (credit card or bank account) to reduce your exposure to PCI assessment requirements.

    The below use cases detail some of the common requirements you will have:

    Retrieve business information (fees, commissions, T&Cs)

  • Get call history
