Merchant-Initiated Installment Payments with PAN

After the initial CIT installment payment, subsequent installment payments are merchant-initiated transactions (MITs).

Prerequisites

The first transaction in an installment payment is a customer-initiated transaction
(CIT). Before you can perform a subsequent merchant-initiated transaction
(MIT), you must store the customer's credentials for later use. Before you can store the user's credentials, you must get the customer's consent to store their private information. This process is also known as establishing a relationship with the customer.
