The Create Account Updater request enables you to send in multiple credit cards to get them updated with the latest information. This is relevant if you are storing credit card details on your side. If the credit cards are stored in BlueSnap, they will be automatically kept up-to-date. Account Updater is available for American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Discover. Please include only these card types in your request. For more information about this service, see [Account Updater](ref:account-updater).
The request includes one or more account-update
resources, along with a unique batch ID that you define.
Notes:
- There is a 2,000 record size limit.
- The Account Updater process takes about 5-6 days to complete. About 5 days after you send the request, you can send a Retrieve Account Updater request in order to get details about any changes to the cards you sent.
- Card updates are not available in sandbox.
