Minimizes the exposure of sensitive card details and increases the security of your customer's card details.

Authentication Header

  Authorization: {your_credentials}

Replace {your_credentials} with your base64-encoded Basic Auth username and password given to you by your Implementation Manager.

You must use the Authorization header for any request you send to our Token API, unless you are using client certificate authenticating with SSL/TLS.

Accept & Content-Type Headers

  Accept: application/vnd.worldpay.tokens-v3.hal+json
  Content-Type: application/vnd.worldpay.tokens-v3.hal+json

We use the Accept header to identify which version of our API you are using. You must use the Accept header for any request you send to our Account APIs.

We require the Content-Type header if the request you're sending includes a request body, and if the HTTP method is a POST or a PUT.

DNS Whitelisting

Whitelist the following URLs:

  • https://try.access.worldpay.com/
  • https://access.worldpay.com/

Please ensure you use DNS whitelisting, not explicit IP whitelisting. When you make a request within Access Worldpay, you should always cache the response returned.

Response
application/vnd.worldpay.tokens-v3.hal+json

A 200 OK response means that you've already tokenized the card and that all data supplied in your create a token request matches the data stored with Access Worldpay.

Sometimes, a token can be matched even if the data isn't quite the same. For example, if Access Worldpay has a billingAddress on file, the existing billingAddress is retained if no billingAddress was supplied in your request. Additionally, you receive the 200 OK response code.

The existing token resource reference is returned in the tokenPaymentInstrument object.
