Generate a Credit Card Token

To initiate Recurring Card Payments, you must generate first a credit card token. The credit card token can be obtained in two ways:

  • by initiating a payment request with GenerateCreditCardToken parameter set to true. For more detailed information, please go to our section Recurring Card Payments;
  • by using the following action for Card Authentication based on POST HTTP request:

Definition: POST /v1/card/authenticate

By using the Card Authentication request with all the necessary details for customer and for credit card, a token element will be sent in the response, containing the value of the newly created credit card token. The token received in the response can be used to initiate future Recurring Payments.
