Consumer profile management

Create, store, update, and maintain consumer profiles, including payment card information, at J.P. Morgan. Comply with payment card industry data security standards and simplify the payment process for returning consumers and recurring transactions.

When you create a consumer profile, J.P. Morgan generates a unique profile ID (consumerProfileId) and payment method ID (paymentMethodId) for future transactions. To manage a consumer profile separate from a payment request, refer to the Consumer Profile Management API.

Create a profile during a payment

You can create a consumer profile along with a payment (for example, an authorization, sale, or verification) by sending the following required fields in your POST /payments request:

Required fields for creating a consumer profile
Field name Description
amount The total monetary value of the payment including all taxes and fees.
currency The currency for the amount fields. This is the 3 character ISO 4217 currency code.
accountHolder.consumerProfileInfo.consumerProfileRequestType The type of request regarding a consumer profile. Value must be set to CREATE.
merchant.merchantSoftware.companyName The company name of the software integrated to this API. If merchant is directly integrated, send JPMC.
merchant.merchantSoftware.productName The name of the product used for marketing purposes from a consumer's perspective.
paymentMethodType.card.accountNumber The card or token number.
paymentMethod.Type.card.expiry.month The month when the card expires.
paymentMethod.Type.card.expiry.year The year when the card expires.
