Bancontact WIP is an extension of the existing Bancontact service based on a Wallet. The abbreviation WIP stands for Wallet Initiated Payments. If a card holder decides to leave his card data with the Merchant, the card holder is offered the option to make follow-up payments without Secure Authentication. To enable this, Buckaroo saves the card data in the Buckaroo Tokenization Service during the first approved transaction. Based on the card data in the Wallet, a Merchant can offer two additional Bancontact features:
When a Merchant has been approved by Bancontact, Bukaroo will receive the related WIP Credentials from Bancontact. Thus, Buckaroo is able to activate WIP for the Merchant. For activated Merchants, the WIP transactions are verified by Bancontact. In case of too many chargebacks and/or fraud, Bancontact can decide to (temporarily) deactivate the WIP feature.
