Card reissuing
Similar to your embossing configuration, you need to personalize the card reissuing configuration and process for your brand as every brand has different reissue reasons and associated costs. After setting up your program, meet with your Pismo representative to configure this.
You can call the following APIs to view your reissuing configuration and reissue a card:
- Get reissue reasons
- Reissue card—Reissuing a physical card initiates the embossing process.
Card PIN, PAN, and tokens when a card is reissued
When creating or reissuing a Pismo card, a new PAN and PIN are generated randomly. For a new card's PIN to be the same as the old card's, you must manually change the new card's password to the old card's password. Typically, this involves calling Get card password for the old card, and Change card password for the new card.
There currently is no way to transfer a card's PAN to a reissued card.
Token transfers are supported for reissued cards. This can be accomplished with the update_tokens
parameter passed in the Reissue card endpoint. You can also reissue a card and then call Transfer card tokens .
