REST API
Capture Context API
The capture context request contains all of the merchant-specific parameters that
tell the frontend JavaScript library how to behave within your payment
experience.
The capture context is a signed JSON Web Token (JWT) containing this information:
- Merchant-specific parameters: manages the customer payment experience for the current payment transaction.
- A one-time public key: secures the information flow during the current payment transaction.
For information on JSON Web Tokens, see JSON Web Tokens.
The capture context is signed with long‑lasting keys so that its authenticity can be
validated.
You can define the payment cards and other application features in the capture
context. Use the
allowedCardNetworks

types. Available card networks:- American Express
- Diners Club
- Discover
- JCB
- Mastercard
- Visa
