Tokenization

For tokenization several API endpoints are available. For a general description of tokenization and dataflows, see the Tokenization Guide .

Register a Token

The Register token endpoint registers a new token in the payment wallet of a shopper for a particular merchant.

The shopper is required to complete the token registration by performing a payment, once the token has been created. Therefore, use List Payment Methods to determine the available payment methods for tokenization and use Start Payment to complete the token registration.
