"order_tags": {
    "imports_importer_name": "JOHN DOE INDUSTRIES",
    "imports_importer_address_postal_code": "533103",
    "imports_goods_description": "chocolates",
    "imports_invoice_number": "52300"
}

​

To include verification details when charging a subscription, pass the payment_tags parameter in your subscription charge request. Example request:
