Implemented Features
Below is a list of currently implemented aspects of the CyberSource API.
If you don’t see functionality you require, please contact us at sales@katointegrations.com to discuss the functionality you’re looking for.
Transactions
Authorize
Where the cardholder’s funds are verified as available and set aside for the pending transaction.
Authorize Capture
Where the cardholder’s funds are verified and immediately transferred to the merchant.
Capture
Full or partial transfer of funds from the cardholder’s pending authorization to the merchant.
Authorization Reversal
Releases the reserve held against the consumer’s available credit for transactions not yet capture
Stand-Alone Credit
A stand-alone credit is not linked to a capture. There is no time limit for requesting stand-alone credits.
Follow-On Credit
A follow-on credit is linked to a capture in the CyberSource system. You can request multiple follow-on credits against a single capture. You must request all follow-on credits within 60 days of the capture that is being credited.
Subscriptions
A customer subscription consists of information about a customer that you store in the CyberSource database for future billing. By using this feature, you will not be storing sensitive payment information on your system. A subscription ID, also known as a token, takes the place of sensitive credit card information. With the token specified in requests to CyberSource, you can use the information stored on their systems to handle all payment processing. You are able to create, update, retrieve, and delete a subscription, as well as use the subscription for billing in either a recurring or ad hoc manner. You have the ability to create a subscription from a payment processed through CyberSource for up to 60 days. A customer subscription includes:
- The customer’s name
- The customer’s required contact information, such as the billing address
- The customer’s optional contact information, such as the email address, phone number, and shipping address
- A form of payment for the customer, such as a card number or bank account number
- Metadata about the subscription or customer profile, such as a merchant reference number, a customer ID, a title for the subscription or customer profile, or comments
- Optional storage fields in which you can store any type of data
Additional Payment Methods

Visa Checkout
