All Loon subscribers can access the Account Updater section of the Pagos Service Panel

Card brands like Visa and Mastercard provide issuing banks with secure communication networks to assist them in distributing updated card information to merchants or payment service providers (PSPs) who vault card credentials. By leveraging these networks, your business can decrease customer checkout friction and churn, and increase overall transaction approval rates by keeping customer card information updated. Pagos has two account updater tools:

Batch Account Updater API

Request updated account details in batches from all four major card brands.

Real-Time Account Updater API

Update Visa and Mastercard credentials in real time.

To access the Account Updater section, click Account Updater under Data Enrichment in the main navigation. This section contains three tabs:

​
Batch

The Batch tab provides a breakdown of the batches of card credentials you’ve sent to Pagos for account updates via the Batch Account Updater API. To navigate this tab:

1

Set a date range

Use the Date Range filter in the top-right corner of the page to select the time period you want to view data for.

2

Select the Platform Merchant

If you operate a platform providing account updater services to a variety of merchants, use the Platform Merchant drop-down to select the merchant for whom you want to view batch account updater data.

3

Review your stats

The cards across the top of the page provide the following stats:

  • Cards Updated - The number of card credentials sent in batches to Pagos for credential updates
  • Batches Completed - The number of batches you’ve received credential updates for
  • Response Success Rate - The percentage of credentials included in your batches that received non-error response code from the networks
