pin_id
uuid
Required
The PIN pin_id. It must belong to your account and to the mode of your API key.
Customer lost their code? Instead of disabling the PIN, give it a new code with Reissue a PIN code: the old code stops working and the balance is kept.
The balance stays on the PIN. Re-activate it with Activate a PIN. Expired PINs cannot be disabled.
