Historic Creation Types

For Visa and MasterCard payments, Creation Type ID 3 (API) should be considered as deprecated in favour of Creation Types 10 and 11, which must be used in accordance with Card Scheme regulations to indicate the 2 primary types of stored credential transactions. More information can be found on our Card On File Deposits (with Tokenization) section and our PSD 2 Implementation Guideline.
