Overview

You can save multiple cards under a customer to charge at a later date for quicker checkouts and a seamless payment experience for your customers. Once cards are saved, you can retrieve them for a customer, update or delete them, and use them for future charges. This feature eliminates the need for customers to enter their payment details every time they make a purchase, enhancing their overall shopping experience.

📘
Save Card Feature
To save cards for a customer.id, the Save Card feature has to be activated for the Merchant Account. Contact your account manager to enable the Save Card feature.

Usage of Saved Card

A saved card.id, cannot be directly used in the Create a Charge or Create an Authorize request. First, you need to create the token.id for this saved card.id, and then use this token.id to initiate a transaction.

Card Request Example

The Token ID and Customer ID are both required to successfully save a card.

You can use our JS library to create the token without being PCI compliant.
