Store a card during the payment

Make a card payment and store those card details for future Customer Initiated Transactions (CIT).

The request must contain:

"customerAgreement": {
    "type": "cardOnFile",  // used to indicate the customer has agreed to storing their card (future CIT)
    "storedCardUsage": "first" // the first in the series
},

To avoid the PCI implications of storing card numbers in most cases you will want to create a Worldpay token for future use.

"tokenCreation": {
    "type": "worldpay" // include if you're storing the card as a Worldpay Token
},

If PSD2/SCA or other regional mandates apply you should follow the steps for enabling 3DS

Whilst you can use a Network Token, it is not yet possible to create a network token as part of the payments API flow. You can create a network token using a separate request to the Access Tokens API as well as provision the network token cryptogram each time its used.

Important: You must have agreement from your customer to store their card details.

1. Integration Type

Apply card details directly in our Payments API, or use our PCI-compliant Checkout SDK to create a session

Collect the card details and send an API request with these details to the payments resource.

2. Basic Request
