How Beam Supports Recurring Payments
Initiator type
initiatorType marks each transaction as CUSTOMER (CIT) or MERCHANT (MIT). You set it on the payment method when
creating a charge or card authorization.
Note
CIT/MIT must be enabled on your merchant account before initiatorType takes effect.
Contact Beam support to enable it.
Supported payment methods
initiatorType and networkTransactionId are supported on the following payment method types:
- Card (
CARD) - Card Token (
CARD_TOKEN) - Card Network Token (
CARD_NETWORK_TOKEN)
Combining card features
You can combine CIT/MIT with
as long as you have contacted Beam to have them configured.
What’s next
Once you understand CIT/MIT concepts and what Beam provides, you can start your own CIT — see Customer-Initiated Transactions (CIT).
