Follow these steps to configure the Cards Settings for Bank of America:

  1. Click Settings > Configure Chargebee > Payment Gateways > Bank of America, and click the Manage link in the Cards section. The Cards Settings page is displayed. Configure the following settings based on your business requirements:

    1. Cards verification: This option is enabled by default to validate your customers' cards by doing a test authorization. An amount of $0 is deducted from the customers' cards to collect mandatory information from Bank of America and for the integration to work properly. This amount will be refunded immediately. Cards that do not pass this validation, will not be added.
