Network payment tokens
The network payment token API is a Web service used to provision network tokens from credit card networks.
Network payment token service
You can use this API as a single integration point to target the network’s API to request tokens and cryptograms for a given Payment Account Number (PAN).
The basic workflow is as follows:
- Merchants must make distinct requests to this service to return token information.
- A request call is made to NPT to perform the desired action.
- The network payment token calls the appropriate provider(s), initiates the requested actions, and returns the tokens or the cryptogram depending upon the action being performed.
Note: Future versions of this API will support American Express and Discover tokens.
