Generate Card Update Link
Generate a secure, time-limited URL that your customer can visit to update their payment method.
The page is branded to your business — your customer sees your name, not Revtain’s.
- URL is valid for 72 hours and can only be used once
- When the customer updates their card, you’ll receive a
card.updatedwebhook - For a seamless customer experience, configure a custom domain (CNAME
pay.yourdomain.com→api.revtain.com)
