Generating a Terminal Activation Code Using a REST API Request

Before activating the terminal in the Acceptance Devices app, you must generate a terminal activation code.
You can use a REST API request to generate a terminal activation code, which is valid for 24 hours.
You must authenticate each request that you send to a
Cybersource
 API. In order to authenticate an API request, you can use a REST shared secret key or a REST certificate. For more information about authentication requirements, see .

Endpoints

The POST request must include the transacting merchant ID (MID) that is sending the request and the quantity of activation codes to be generated. You can request up to 15 activation codes in a single request.
