OVERVIEW
When a client churns or wants to migrate the active subscriber of their existing one to the New Vendor, we have to transfer their subscription information which is saved within our system. We then hand over the token for the New Vendor. The process typically takes about approximately 10 weeks.
PURPOSE
Migrating active subscriber/subscription data from the system and handing over the existing tokens via our existing Payment Processors to the New Vendor. After the data has been transferred to the new vendor, the Seller is responsible for subscription deactivation on the System so as to stop any unintentional billings or customers' complaints.
SCOP
- Transmitting active subscriber data to Seller.
- Coordination with our current Payment Processor and the Seller's New Vendor for payment token migration.
- We are only transferring Credit Card tokens; due to regulations and compliance the company is unable to transfer PayPal tokens.

- We will give active subscribers and subscriber lists, based on payment method type and Processors.
- will provide an official Letter of Intent (LOI) for the processing company, indicating the export of the token to the New Vendor; The LOI will differ between Processor the Processor.
- will connect the Seller, new Vendor with the existing Payment Processor to facilitate token transfer.
2.a. Current Processor will verify the AOC and any other PCI relevant information for the New Vendor.
2.b. After PCI verification Processor is completed, we will provide New Vendor with appropriate information on next steps in migration and timelines, which includes (but is not limited to):
- Processor specific transport protocol to send and receive token files. It could also include the sharing of PGP keys (Public).
- Schema of the file that is expected by the vendor and appropriate mapping ( will include the key or attribute to the tokens).
- The processor has specific steps for encrypting and decrypt the information.
- Tokens will be given to the New Vendor by the Processor currently in place.
