Merchant scoping
Rate caps are scoped to the merchant's API credential and configured during onboarding.
Backoff strategy
Implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses; coordinate sustained traffic with the Cardtonic technical contact.
PCI DSS scope
As a PCI DSS-certified processor, sensitive card flows have additional fraud-throttling that may not be visible as a request-rate limit.
