Create Token (Card Not Present)

POST /payment-methods/virtual

Tokenize a card using a hosted payment form/iframe. This POST request initiates a tokenization session and returns a short-lived iframe URL to embed in your page, rather than using a static iframe URL.

When the customer submits their card information, they will be redirected to the returnUrl (if provided) or a postMessage event will be sent to the parent window. The complete tokenization result will be delivered via the Token Created webhook.

A $0 authorization will occur to validate the card. If valid, a tokenized card ID will be stored and a paymentMethodId will be returned for future Card On File transactions.

Webhook Events

The following webhook events will be triggered during the tokenization process:

auth.completed - when the $0 authorization is processed and completed.
token.created - when a card is tokenized and stored as a payment method.

application/json

Body Required

The request to tokenize a card using a hosted payment form / iframe.

paymentMethodId string
The ID of the payment method (hosted payment form/iframe) to use for adding a card.
- Example format: pmt_vrt_01JRZPTWS99Z7RB57Q1CVWSWDS
- OPTIONAL ONLY if you have a single hosted payment form configured
- REQUIRED if you have multiple hosted payment forms configured
You can retrieve all available payment method IDs for your account using the GET /payment-methods endpoint.
referenceId string

An optional custom reference ID to tag and track this token operation. If provided, this value must be unique per merchant. If not provided, a unique reference ID will be generated automatically by the system.

Maximum length is 100.
returnUrl string

Will be used to redirect user back to merchant's site after iframe completed or canceled if provided. The URL will include various parameters that are detailed in "Transaction Result Parameters" section of the Hosted Payment Form section. If you do not provide a returnUrl, the customer will see either a "Payment Processed Successfully" or "Payment Processing Issue" screen.
useJavaScriptCallback boolean

At the end of the transaction flow, the user is always redirected to either the returnUrl (if provided), or a default success or issue page. In addition, if useJavaScriptCallback is set to true, the iframe will use JavaScript to post a message to the parent window to notify the merchant's site when the iframe completed. This allows for more control over the user experience on the merchant's site.

  The unique identifier of the payment method.

  dateDeleted string(date-time)
  
  The date and time (UTC) when this payment method token was removed from the system using the Remove Token endpoint. This parameter will only be returned if the token was removed/deleted from the system.
  
  This field will be present in three scenarios:
  
  As part of a successful Remove Token endpoint response
  
  In token.removed webhook notifications
  
  In List Transactions responses for transactions where the associated token was later removed
