Create a Payment Token

Create and store a payment token with the appropriate credit/debit card information


Payment tokens are used to replace actual card data sent for processing a transaction. For example, you can store a card token with a customer and/or a subscription contract in your application and use the token to process a payment when required.

Parameters

The following fields are available to create a card token for all keyed/manually input credit/debit cards.
