The processing of a token update request results in the creation of a VERIFICATION transaction type, visible in the Merchant Back Office, that has the following characteristics:
- its amount is 1.00 EUR or EUR 0.00, if supported by the acquirer,
- its status is either "Accepted" (vads_trans_status=ACCEPTED) or "Refused" (vads_trans_status=REFUSED),
- it is never captured and remains in the "Transactions is progress" tab.
The token will not be updated if the authorization or information request is rejected.
In any case, the merchant will be notified about this update if the Instant Payment Notification URL on an operation coming from the Back Office rule is enabled.
