/update_payment_method

Use the /update_payment_method endpoint to retire or deactivate a payment method.

Retiring a Payment Method

When a payment method is "retired"

• The payment_method_identifier will not be returned in the /find_order or /find_payment_methods responses
• The payment method will not display in the PayNearMe Business Portal, Agent Interface, or on the Select Payment Method screen of the Consumer Portal
• The retired payment_method_identifier can be used in the /make_payment call to complete a payment.

Use retire_payment_method=true to retire the payment method in either the /create_payment_method or /update_payment_method calls. To "unretire" a payment method so that it will display again in the places listed above, use retire_payment_method=false.

Deactivating a Payment Method

When a payment method is "deactivated"

• The payment_method_identifier will not be returned in the /find_order or /find_payment_methods responses.
• The payment method will not display on the Select Payment Method screen of the Consumer Portal.
• The payment method will display as Inactive in the PayNearMe Business Portal and Agent Interface.
• The deactivated payment_method_identifier will automatically decline payments for all transaction attempts.
• The deactivated payment method cannot be reactivated by submitting deactivate_payment_method=false. It can only be reactivated by re-adding it via the /create_payment_method endpoint.

To deactivate a payment method, use deactivate_payment_method=true.
