SOAP Toolkit Keys

SOAP Toolkit keys are used to enable secure communication between the merchant and Cybersource when using the SOAP toolkit.

Key information:

SOAP Toolkit keys expire after 3 years.

Security keys can be used to make any request, including payments. Treat your security keys as you would any secure password.

You must use separate keys for the test and production environments.
