Take a card on file authorization
Use our card on file authorize resource when your customer is initiating a payment using stored card details. Read more about card on file mandates
What are card on file payments?
- The customer is actively participating in making a payment at the point of authorization using card details you have previously stored/ intend to store
- Does not follow a schedule
- Requires explicit permission from the customer to store the card on their account for use in a “one-click” model
- Sometimes referred to as Customer Initiated Transactions (CIT)

Card on file response
Best Practice: Access Worldpay returns a WP-CorrelationId
in the headers of service responses. We highly recommend you log this. The WP-CorrelationId
is used by us to examine individual service requests.
Successful payment
You receive:
- an HTTP code
201
- an
"outcome": "authorized"
- risk factors (only returned if issuer identifies conflict)
- an
exemption result and reason (only if you supplied a risk profile to request anSCA exemption ) - an issuer authorization code
- a scheme reference (supported by major card schemes, but may not be returned for all schemes/regions)
- links to
cancel ,settle ,partially settle ortrack payment events - an authorization link for the next payment in your repeat payment agreement
Refused payment
You receive:
- an HTTP code
201
- an
"outcome": "refused"
- a
refusal code - a
description
which gives additional context on the refusal - risk factors (only returned if issuer identifies conflict)
- an
exemption result and reason (only if you supplied a risk profile to request anSCA exemption )
