Partner Solution Key Enablement
You can process transactions on behalf of merchants who are using your
registered solution. To enable merchants to use your solution, you must create a
partner solution key
. The acquirer you are partnering with must then update
the merchant's account to use the key. Cybersource
also authenticates
the merchants, ensuring that the registered solution only performs actions authorized by
the merchants.This
section explains how you can set up a partner solution key to enable your solutions to
process transactions on behalf of merchants.
