Import data to Hyperswitch

We help you with smooth migration from your current payment processor, ensuring uninterrupted business operations.

Performing the import data process:

1. Merchant initiates a request to our team for Data import.

2. We will share our PCI Attestation of Compliance (AoC) certificate to Merchant.

3. Merchant requests a data export (for both customer records and associated payment data) from their current payment processor, by providing Hyperswitch’s PCI AoC certificate.

4. We will provide our public PGP key for Merchant’s current payment processor to encrypt their export data.

5. An encrypted CSV file containing all the export data needs to be sent through SFTP by Merchant’s current payment processor.

6. We will import the data.

7. Post migration of data, we will send an updated customer-payment method reference IDs to Merchant.

Import file format:

The CSV file for import should be formatted in accordance with the following requirements:

• The first line contains the names of the fields.

• Each subsequent line should contain the fields for a single record.

• Delimit rows by a single newline character \n (not \r\n).

• Delimit columns by ,

• Leave empty fields entirely empty (no character in between delimiters). You must not denote a missing field with NULL, N/A, or any other value.

• Fields can’t contain comma, newline characters (\r or \n or ,) within a field.

  • Example of what to avoid: 1st Ave\nApt 1

• All rows must have the same number of columns.

• Field names and values are case-sensitive.

• Multi-line fields are not allowed.

• Save the file in UTF-8 format (to support non-western characters).

• Encrypt the file using the public PGP key provided by Hyperswitch.
