# Handle recurring and split transactions

For recurring and split transactions, you typically need a cryptogram only for the first authorization request. Some countries can require exceptions.

The DPAN and expiry date can change over time. The first transaction after a change must use the updated token details.

You have two integration options:

* **Option 1: Store token metadata**
  * Get the token details and cryptogram for the first transaction.
  * Store the DPAN and expiry date in your database.
  * Use stored values for subsequent authorizations.
  * Update stored values when you receive token lifecycle notifications.
* **Option 2: Fetch token metadata for every transaction**
  * Request the current DPAN and expiry date each time you create a transaction.
  * Avoid maintaining token metadata locally.
