What is the process for converting from my current processor?

Payway has performed hundreds of conversions from various sources, e.g., Braintree, Authorize.net, IC Verify, etc.

Payway has performed hundreds of conversions from various sources, e.g., Braintree, Authorize.net, IC Verify, etc. These conversions have included systems that have already been tokenized, as well as systems with only raw credit card data. The steps to tokenize include:

  1. Coordinate with the existing payment processor or system to provide an initial test file containing existing accounts and tokens (if applicable).
  2. Run the Payway task to import the accounts into the Payway payment gateway and generate a result file containing tokens.
  3. Update the core system with the resulting token file. If the old system was tokenized, the old tokens will be replaced at this time.
  4. Validate the token conversion by running a test transaction using the new tokens and checking proper routing of tokens to accounts.
