CIM - Do Customer Payment Profiles expire?

Please start this scenario with a minimal CIM profile, created via 'createCustomerProfileRequest', with just an email address and nothing else.

If you want to charge such a simple CIM Profile, do you have to update the profile first to set the billing information, or will the system assume any values from 'createTransactionRequest' to fill any required fields?

Thanks!

The CreateTransactionRequest will not update any part of a CIM profile. You can choose to send billing or shipping information instead of a payment profile ID or shipping address ID, but they won't be loaded into the profile.

It is best to update the profile details before running the createTransactionRequest.
