In-App Transactions Using the
Cybersource
API and Decryption

Cybersource illustration
  1. When the customer chooses to pay with Apple Pay, you use the Apple PassKit Framework to request the encrypted payment data from Apple.
  2. Apple uses the Secure Element to create a
    payment token
    and encrypt the token’s
    payment data
    before it sends your application.
    The
    payment token
    is the
    PKPaymentToken
    structure.
    The payment data is the
    paymentData
    field of the
    PKPaymentToken
    structure.
  3. You forward the encrypted payment data to your order management system.
  4. Using the
    Cybersource
    API, you submit the authorization request. In the
    paymentInformation.fluidData.value
    field, include the Base64-encoded value obtained from the
    paymentData
    field of the
    PKPaymentToken
    structure.
  5. Cybersource
    decrypts the payment data and forwards the information to the payment network, which includes your processor and the relevant payment card company.
    IMPORTANT
    You must use the
    Business Center
    or one of the
    Cybersource
    API services to capture, credit, or void the authorization.
