We are looking to shift payment gateway providers for our e-commerce application; as such we would like to migrate such information as;
- Customer Contracts / Billing Information
- Credit Card Information
- Transactions
from our previous gateway to the new gateway. Are there any best practices or techniques that could be followed or would be recommended for this?
The application supports recurring charges. There is also need to keep PCI compliance in mind when undertaking this exercise.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
My understanding is that this process is usually initiated by you as the customer of the payment gateways but the process is then completed by the two payment gateways you are migrating between.
Because they should both be PCI compliant they will be able to transfer the data between each other securely.
The gateway that you’ve migrated to will then be able to supply you a list of mapped card tokens so you can migrate between tokens.
I cannot comment on billing information and transactions as I haven’t dealt with these.
