This Patch endpoint allows you to update an existing alias. You can:

  • provision a Network Token for an existing alias
  • update and map the expiry date (year and month) and cardholder data of a card
  • remove the underlying PAN of an alias from your vault.

Please refer to the API Reference to get a detailed view of all required and optional fields.

🚧

Mandatory data for Network Token provisioning

Adding the expiry date is required when you want to provision a Network Token (VTS, MDES, AETS).

Additionally for AMEX the ipAddress and either phoneNumber or emailAddress is required to successfully provision an AMEX token.


Removing PANs

Removing a PAN from storage is helpful if you need to comply certain regulation which doesn't allow storage of plain card details on payment ecosystems.

📘

Removing PANs is only available for accounts enabled for Network Tokenization for a given card number.

A removed PAN can not be restored.

            "token": "2222850249926011"
        }
    }
}

The response property panRemoved indicates if the PAN has been removed from storage for a given alias. You can also call the Token Status API if you are not sure whether the PAN exists or not.
