Payment Credentials API

This section contains the information you need to retrieve the full payment credentials collected by the Unified Checkout tool using the payment credentials API. The payment information is returned in a redundantly signed and encrypted payment object. It uses the JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) as the data standard for communicating this sensitive data.

IMPORTANT

Payment information returned by the

payment-credentials

endpoint will contain Personal Identifiable Information (PII). Retrieving this sensitive information requires your system to comply with PCI security standards. For more information on PCI security standards, see: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/

The response is returned using a JWE data object that is encrypted with your public key created during the Unified Checkout tool's integration. For more information, see Upload Your Encryption Key.

To decrypt the JWE response, use your private key created during the Unified Checkout tool's integration. The decrypted content is a JWS data object containing a JSON payload. This payload can be validated with the Unified Checkout public signature key.

IMPORTANT

When integrating with Cybersource APIs, Cybersource recommends that you dynamically parse the response for the fields that you are looking for. Additional fields may be added in the future.

You must ensure that your integration can handle new fields that are returned in the response. While the underlying data structures will not change, you must also ensure that your integration can handle changes to the order in which the data is returned. Cybersource uses semantic versioning practices, which enables you to retain backwards compatibility as new fields are introduced in minor version updates.

Endpoint

Production:

GET https://api.cybersource.com/flex/v2/payment-credentials/{ReferenceID}

Test:

GET https://apitest.cybersource.com/flex/v2/payment-credentials/{ReferenceID}

The

{ReferenceID}

is the reference ID returned in the

field when you created the payment credentials.
