Card on file authorization

Last Updated: 09 April 2024 | Change Log

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 here.

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)

On this page:

Card on file authorization with verification

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 an SCA exemption)
  • an issuer authorization code
  • a scheme reference (supported by major card schemes, but may not be returned for all schemes/regions)
  • a paymentInstrument
  • links to cancel, settle, partially settle or query payment events
  • an authorization link for the next payment in your repeat payment agreement

paymentInstrument

The "paymentInstrument" object is returned if we are able to provide information related to the underlying card used in the authorization request.

Note

Note that if the paymentInstrument object is returned, there is no guarantee that each field listed below will be returned with every transaction.

ParameterDescription
paymentInstrument.typeThe type of paymentInstrument. Eg:
  • card/plain+masked
  • card/network+masked
  • card/network
paymentInstrument.card.brandThe card brand. Sometimes referred to as the network or scheme. Eg:
  • "visa"
  • "mastercard"
  • "amex"
paymentInstrument.card.number.binThe card bin. Eg:
444433
Note
this may contain the * character.
paymentInstrument.card.number.last4DigitsThe last four digits of the card. Eg:
1111
Note
this may contain the * character, where the card number is less than 16 digits.
paymentInstrument.card.expiryDate.monthThe card expiry month. Eg:
11
paymentInstrument.card.expiryDate.yearThe card expiry year. Eg:
2025
paymentInstrument.card.fundingTypeHow the card is funded. Eg:
  • credit
  • debit
  • prepaid
  • deferredDebit
  • chargeCard
paymentInstrument.card.categoryWhether the card is classed as a consumer card or a card for commercial use. Eg:
  • consumer
  • commercial
paymentInstrument.card.countryCodeThe alpha-2 ISO-3166 country code that the card was issued in. May return "N/A" where the country is unknown. Eg:
GB
paymentInstrument.card.issuer.nameThe name of the card issuer. Eg:
Some Issuer PLC.
paymentInstrument.card.paymentAccountReferenceThe payment account reference (PAR) is a non-financial reference that uniquely identifies the underlying cardholder account. This allows you to correlate payments made with differing instruments (e.g. "card/plain" and "card/wallet+applepay"), where the same account funds the transaction. A PAR cannot be used to intiate a payment. Eg:
ABC123DEF456GHI789JKL123MNO45

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 an SCA exemption

To reduce the probability of processing a fraudulent payment, supply your customer's billing address and cvc in your authorization request.

We check this with your customer's issuing bank and include any conflicts in our response.

The riskFactors array is returned only if there is a risk associated with the authorization request. The riskFactors array returns an object for avs, cvc or riskProfile only if this information was included in the authorization request and if any risk was identified.

The table below describes the response parameters:

ParameterDescription
riskFactors.typeReturns avs, cvc or riskProfile
riskFactors.detailFor avs only.
Returns postcode or address
riskFactors.riskReturns not_checked, not_matched, not_supplied or verificationFailed

Card on file without verification 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 an SCA exemption)
  • an issuer authorization code
  • a scheme reference (supported by major card schemes, but may not be returned for all schemes/regions)
  • a paymentInstrument
  • links to cancel, settle, partially settle or query payment events
  • an authorization link for the next payment in your repeat payment agreement

paymentInstrument

The "paymentInstrument" object is returned if we are able to provide information related to the underlying card used in the authorization request.

Note

Note that if the paymentInstrument object is returned, there is no guarantee that each field listed below will be returned with every transaction.

ParameterDescription
paymentInstrument.typeThe type of paymentInstrument. Eg:
  • card/plain+masked
  • card/network+masked
  • card/network
paymentInstrument.card.brandThe card brand. Sometimes referred to as the network or scheme. Eg:
  • "visa"
  • "mastercard"
  • "amex"
paymentInstrument.card.number.binThe card bin. Eg:
444433
Note
this may contain the * character.
paymentInstrument.card.number.last4DigitsThe last four digits of the card. Eg:
1111
Note
this may contain the * character, where the card number is less than 16 digits.
paymentInstrument.card.expiryDate.monthThe card expiry month. Eg:
11
paymentInstrument.card.expiryDate.yearThe card expiry year. Eg:
2025
paymentInstrument.card.fundingTypeHow the card is funded. Eg:
  • credit
  • debit
  • prepaid
  • deferredDebit
  • chargeCard
paymentInstrument.card.categoryWhether the card is classed as a consumer card or a card for commercial use. Eg:
  • consumer
  • commercial
paymentInstrument.card.countryCodeThe alpha-2 ISO-3166 country code that the card was issued in. May return "N/A" where the country is unknown. Eg:
GB
paymentInstrument.card.issuer.nameThe name of the card issuer. Eg:
Some Issuer PLC.
paymentInstrument.card.paymentAccountReferenceThe payment account reference (PAR) is a non-financial reference that uniquely identifies the underlying cardholder account. This allows you to correlate payments made with differing instruments (e.g. "card/plain" and "card/wallet+applepay"), where the same account funds the transaction. A PAR cannot be used to intiate a payment. Eg:
ABC123DEF456GHI789JKL123MNO45

Refused payment

You receive:

Example response

  1. Card/3DS1/3DS2/Token
  2. Apple Pay decrypted

You can use the payments:settle action link to settle the payment straight away. Alternatively you can cache the response and use the link to settle the payment later.

You must store and use the link returned in the payments:migrateCardOnFileAuthorize action link to authorize your next card on file payments.

Note
In case of an error, you can get further information in our error reference.

riskFactors

To reduce the probability of processing a fraudulent payment, supply your customer's billing address and cvc in your authorization request.

We check this with your customer's issuing bank and include any conflicts in our response.

The riskFactors array is returned only if there is a risk associated with the authorization request. The riskFactors array returns an object for avs, cvc or riskProfile only if this information was included in the authorization request and if any risk was identified.

The table below describes the response parameters:

ParameterDescription
riskFactors.typeReturns avs, cvc or riskProfile
riskFactors.detailFor avs only.
Returns postcode or address
riskFactors.riskReturns not_checked, not_matched, not_supplied or verificationFailed

exemptions

An exemption result and reason if a risk profile was included in your authorization request.

The table below describes the response parameters:

ParameterDescription
exemption.resultReturns honored, outOfScope, rejected or unknown
exemption.reasonFor honored, returns issuerHonored or unknown.
For outOfScope, returns merchantInitiatedTransaction, oneLegOut, moto, contactless or unknown.
For rejected, returns issuerRejected, highRisk, invalid, unsupportedScheme, notSubscribed, unsupportedAcquirer or unknown

Soft decline

The issuer responds with a soft decline (refusal code 65), if no exemption has been applied to the payment. The next logical step for this is to proceed with 3DS authentication.
