Request

Creating a new token for the payment instrument.

Bodyapplication/vnd.worldpay.tokens-v2.hal+json

The date/time after which the token is unavailable, expressed in ISO 8601 format. If not supplied, the default expiry date/time is 7 days in Try and 4 years in the Live environment.

We extend the expiry by 7 days or 4 years after any use of the token, if under half of the time remains on the token.

Response

application/vnd.worldpay.tokens-v2.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.
