Simple Order API Keys

The Simple Order API uses public key cryptography to securely exchange information over the Internet. Before you can send requests for Cybersource services using the Simple Order API, you must go to the Business Center and create a security key for your Cybersource merchant account.

Simple Order API keys expire after 3 years.

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

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