Duplicate payment methods

Rainforest now supports duplicating a saved payment method, which allows you to associate new billing contact and metadata to a new payment method without having to ask the end user to store their payment method again.

Once a payment method is duplicated, the two payment methods are not associated to each other and will be treated as completely separate payment methods within the Rainforest ecosystem. Meaning, processes such as Card Account Updater will run separately on these two payment methods.

How to duplicate

Create a payment method config

First, create a payment method config to specify information such as billing contact and metadata.

Second, create a payment method by providing the payment method ID to duplicate the stored sensitive payment method details (i.e full card or bank account number). Only the stored sensitive payment method details will persist to the duplicated payment method. The billing contact and metadata must be defined on the Payment Method Config or on this request and will not persist from the payment method being duplicated.
