Set Up Your Cybersource Account

This overview lists the tasks you will need to complete in order to set up your Cybersource account for sending and receiving REST API messages using either JSON Web Token messaging or HTTP Signature messaging.

Enabling REST Workflow

Sign up and register a sandbox account.

Obtain security keys for either:

JWT message security uses a P12 certificate. See Set Up a JSON Web Token Message.

HTTP Signature message security uses a key pair. See Set Up HTTP Signature Message.

Configure your messaging.

(Optional) Enable message-level encryption (MLE).

Go live by signing up for a production account.
