Performing the Import Data Process
- Merchant initiates a request to our team for data import
- We will share our PCI Attestation of Compliance (AoC) certificate to the merchant
- Merchant requests a data export (for both customer records and associated payment data) from their current payment processor, by providing Vaultera switch’s PCI AoC certificate
- We will provide our public PGP key for the merchant’s current payment processor to encrypt their export data
- An encrypted CSV file containing all the export data needs to be sent through SFTP by the merchant’s current payment processor
- We will import the data
- Post migration of data, we will send updated customer-payment method reference IDs to the merchant
Import File Format

- Fields can’t contain commas or newline characters (
\ror\nor,) within a field- Example of what to avoid:
