B2B Virtual Account Payment Method - Does create proxy pool require buyer service implementation

[Uditk18]

Hi team,

Based on the documentation for create proxy pool service in VPA - buyerID is required and is provided by Visa implementation team. I would want to understand if I can implement the proxy pool service as a standalone service to create pseudo accounts

Hi @Uditk18, 

The Proxy Service does require a buyer/ company to be set up.  To request virtual accounts, first an issuing bank is set up in the end system.  As for requesting accounts, 1^st, the individual company is set up, 2^nd the parent account is loaded and then, 3^rd, the pool of account is created. Each of these three steps can be done on the UI by the bank or via API by the third party. 

Once the company and account pool is established, then you can use the Request Virtual Account API to request accounts (or Process Payment API to submit payments).

Hope this helps. 

Thanks, 

Illana
