Unified Checkout
calls other follow-on services such as Payments,
Decision Manager
,
Payer Authentication
, and
Token Management Service
(
TMS
).
Unified Checkout
consists of a server-side component and a
client-side JavaScript library.
The server-side component authenticates your merchant identity and instructs the
system to act within your payment environment. The response contains limited-use public
keys. The keys are for end-to-end encryption and contain merchant-specific payment
information that drives the interaction of the application. The client-side JavaScript
library dynamically and securely places digital payment options onto your e-commerce
page.
The provided JavaScript library enables you to securely accept many payment
options within your e-commerce environment.
Unified Checkout
can be
embedded seamlessly into your existing webpage, simplifying payment acceptance.
When a customer selects a payment method from the button widget,
Unified Checkout
handles all interactions with the payment method that was
chosen.
Unified Checkout
is also able to orchestrate requests for to
follow-on services such as Payments,
Decision Manager
,
Payer Authentication
, and
TMS
before it provides a
response to your e-commerce system.

Integration Overview
Step 1: Enable
Unified Checkout
To begin using
Unified Checkout
, you must first ensure that your
merchant ID (MID) is configured to use the service and that any payment methods you
intend to use are properly set up.
If you are unable to access this page, contact your sales
representative.
In the
Business Center
, go to the left navigation panel and choose
Payment Configuration
>
Unified

Unified Checkout
Customer Experience
The
Unified Checkout
configuration interface provides complete
low-code control over your checkout experience by using dedicated configuration
screens accessible through the
Business Center
. The configuration
interface is organized into separate screens, each accessible from the
My
customer experience
page. Configure each of these components of the
checkout experience:
Payment Options
: Add, remove, and arrange payment methods. For
information about configuring payment methods, see Configure Payment Options.
within your webpage, you need to set
up the server-side component. This task involves generating a capture context. A capture
context is a signed JSON Web Token (JWT) that contains your merchant configuration,
one-time encryption keys, and payment parameters.
Follow these steps to make a
server-to-server call to the sessions API to authenticate your merchant credentials
and establish how the
Unified Checkout
front-end components will
function:
Implement a server-to-server call to the sessions API.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This call should include parameters that define how
Unified Checkout
performs.
Handle the response from the sessions API.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The response will contain:
A transaction-specific public key for securing the transaction in the
customer's browser.
An authenticated context description package that manages the payment
experience on the client side, including available payment options,
interface styling, and payment methods.
Store and manage the JSON Web Token (JWT) object, referred to as the
capture

your page. The argument determines the display mode:
Sidebar Mode
The payment screen appears as an overlay sidebar. Pass a CSS selector for the
payment button list, or omit it
entirely:
// Full sidebar — buttons and payment screen both in sidebar
const result = await checkout.mount();
// Buttons embedded, payment screen in sidebar
const result = await checkout.mount('#payment-buttons');
Embedded Mode
Both the button list and payment screen render inline within your page
layout:
const result = await checkout.mount({
paymentSelection: '#payment-buttons',
paymentScreen: '#payment-form'
});
Mount Result
When
autoProcessing
is enabled,
mount()
resolves with the completed payment result JWT once the customer finishes the
payment flow.
When

, it's crucial to thoroughly test
your integration to ensure it works correctly and provides a smooth checkout experience
for your customers. This section outlines the steps to test your
Unified Checkout
integration.
Set up your test environment:
Log in to the
Business Center
account using your test
credentials.
Switch to the test environment if not already in test mode.
Set up a test website or application that integrates
Unified Checkout
.
Use test card numbers to simulate different payment scenarios.
Verify that the capture context object that you get from the sessions API is
correct and that your integration can handle tokens.
Ensure that your integration correctly handles the capture context and
transient tokens throughout the payment process.
Test error handling and edge cases.
Simulate various error scenarios to ensure your integration gracefully
handles and reports errors to the user.
Verify webhook notifications, if configured.
If you set up webhook notifications, ensure that your system correctly
receives and processes them for various transaction events. For information
about configuring your webhook notifications, see Webhooks Support.
AFTER COMPLETING THE TASK
After completing these testing steps, you should have confidence in your
integration. Remember to test in both the test and production environments before going
live.
Unified Checkout
Flow
To integrate
Unified Checkout
into your
platform, you must follow several integration steps. This section gives a high-level
overview of how to integrate and launch
Unified Checkout
on your
webpage and process a transaction. You can find the detailed specifications of the
APIs later in this document.
Information that is captured by
Unified Checkout
, including the billing
and shipping address, can be retrieved using the payment details API.
The figure below shows the
Unified Checkout
payment flow using the
sessions API to generate the capture context:
Figure:
Unified Checkout
Payment Flow
For more information on the specific APIs referenced, see these topics:
Sessions API: This
generates the capture context and determines what fields are displayed to
the customer in the UI during checkout.
Payment Details API: This
API can be used to retrieve personally identifiable information that is
associated with a
Unified Checkout
transient token, such as
the cardholder name and billing and shipping details, without retrieving
payment credentials.
Payment Methods
This section describes the payment methods you can use in your
Unified Checkout
integration. After you successfully integrate one payment
method, you can add another from the same category with minimal adjustments to your
existing configuration.
You can use these token types to pay with a token in
Unified Checkout
:
Customer Tokens
When you include the customer token, your UI displays the default payment
instrument that is inked to a customer. To display a customer token, you
must include the
paymentConfigurations.TMS_TOKEN.customer.id
field
in your sessions API request.
IMPORTANT
When you include a customer token ID here with
tokenCreate
for a
paymentInstrument
or

When you meet these requirements, a new payment instrument or instrument
identifier is created under the specified customer token.
eCheck/ACH Service
Unified Checkout
supports the acceptance of eCheck information.
Sensitive eCheck data is securely captured and replaced with a token. Acceptance of
eCheck information enables merchants to collect funds from a customer's bank account
through both the ACH service and eCheck service (US only) for either of these flows:
ACH services are a set of connections composed of the legacy gateway
solutions where
Cybersource
serves as the gateway.
eCheck, the new service on Payments 2.0, is the acquirer solution where
Cybersource
is the acquirer.
Unified Checkout replaces these eCheck information fields in your payment input form:
Routing number
Account number
Account type (non-sensitive)
Enrolling in eCheck/ACH Services
Unified Checkout
can accept bank account payments using the eCheck product.
To accept eCheck payments through
Unified Checkout
, you must have the
eCheck processing service enabled. To request access to eCheck processing and enable
eCheck, you must submit an application in the
Business Center
. Once your
application is approved, you can accept eCheck payments.
For step-by-step instructions on enrolling and enabling eCheck, see the “Getting
Started with the eCheck Service” section of the
. If
eCheck is not listed in the Available Products section in the
Business Center
, you must contact your portfolio owner to enable your account to apply for
eCheck.
IMPORTANT
If you have a business account or a financial relationship
with Bank of America, Wells Fargo, or Chase, and you would like them to process
your transactions, you must contact our Sales or Support team for more
information on our ACH product.

Digital Wallets
Digital wallets are secure applications or services that enable users to store payment
details, such as debit or credit cards electronically.
Digital wallets such as Apple Pay, and Google Pay are accessible with smartphones,
computers, or even directly in web browsers. Digital wallets allow customers to pay for
goods and services both online and in physical stores without a physical card, often
using biometrics, a device passcode, or wallet login, and approve the payment in just a
few clicks.
For online transactions, the wallet securely passes a payment token to the merchant or
payment processor. This means that you do not handle sensitive customer data directly.
This reduces friction at checkout, improves conversion rates, and enhances security
through built‑in authentication and tokenization.
Wallets are best suited for one‑time online purchases and express checkout experiences.
Support for subscriptions and recurring payments varies by wallet, so you must ensure
compatibility if future charges or merchant‑initiated transactions are required.
Unified Checkout
supports these wallet-based payment options:
Apple Pay
Google Pay
Click to Pay
Paze
This is how payments with digital wallets work:
Apple Pay
Apple Pay is a digital payment solution that enables your customers to make secure
and convenient purchases without requiring them to enter their card details or
shipping information. This section includes information about accepting Apple Pay
payments with your
Unified Checkout
integration.
Enrolling in Apple Pay
Apple Pay is a digital payment service that enables users to make secure and convenient
transactions using their Apple devices. Users can add their credit or debit cards to the
Wallet app and use them to pay online or in apps in a safe and convenient consumer
experience.
To enable Apple Pay you must first host a public certificate on your
web page and then pass your merchant name and domain name to Apple. Apple crawls out
to your web page to validate the presence of this certificate to ensure the web
pages are properly vetted and registered with Apple.
Follow these steps to
validate your domain and enroll in Apple Pay:

Set Up Customer Authentication for Visa
Click to Pay
Follow these steps to use the
Business Center
to enable customer
authentication through
Click to Pay
. Authentication methods differ in
each region and are dependent on the issuer, the cardholder device, and the
Click to Pay
configuration. These authentication methods are
available:
3-D Secure
FIDO
Card verification value (CVV)
One-time password (OTP)
IMPORTANT
After you complete these steps, Visa determines which
authentication method to use. When Visa determines that they will authenticate,
they authenticate each
Click to Pay
transaction through the
appropriate method. This may be a frictionless authentication or the customer
may need to provide more information when required by the issuer. This is
available only through Visa.

UI Guidelines
The UI that is built in
Unified Checkout
for
Click to Pay
is built based on the EMV
Click to Pay
XC Guidelines V1.1.
Unified Checkout
has simplified the integration of the UI. The only UI
work that you must complete is the placement of the payment option.
IMPORTANT
You must include
Click to Pay
as one of the
presented payment methods and not as a separate payment method.
Unified Checkout
captures all card details that are manually entered by the
cardholder. This enables the cardholder to enroll in
Click to Pay
and removes the requirement for the cardholder to manually enter their card details the
next time they check out.
Unified Checkout
provides a standard payment label in the
Unified Checkout
JavaScript that is loaded in your checkout page. One of these
scenarios occurs when the cardholder selects the button:
The cardholder is recognized.
The cardholder is not recognized but has a

Handle Responses
When
Unified Checkout
automatically processes a payment with
autoProcessing
is set to
true
or you have set
autoProcessing
to
false
and are using
checkout.Complete()
, you must handle both successful responses
and various errors. After the payment is complete, the
completeResponse
field object contains information about the
transaction outcome.
When a payment is processed successfully, you must parse the response to confirm the
payment status, update their order records, and trigger any post-payment workflows.
Post-payment workflows include sending confirmation emails or updating inventory. See
JavaScript Example: Processing a Payment.
Your error handling should account for specific cases such as
COMPLETE_TRANSACTION_CANCELED
and
COMPLETE_TRANSACTION_FAILED
.
COMPLETE_TRANSACTION_CANCELED
occurs when the user cancels the
transaction and
COMPLETE_TRANSACTION_FAILED
indicates that the
consumer’s transaction failed.
For PPRO-enabled online bank transfers, only cancellation errors are returned, and Tink
Pay By Bank returns failure and cancellation errors. For information about possible
errors that can occur when calling the complete API see UnifiedCheckoutError in Handle Errors.
Buy Now, Pay Later
Buy Now, Pay Later payment methods enable customers to purchase goods or services
immediately and pay in installments over time. With Buy Now, Pay Later, you are paid
immediately and in full, while your customers pay nothing or only a portion of the total
at the time of purchase. The remaining balance is typically spread over equal, often
interest-free, payments.
Buy Now, Pay Later is increasingly popular for both online and in-store purchases.
IMPORTANT
Before you can enroll in these alternative payment method on
Unified Checkout
, you must first be enabled for the alternative
payment platform. Contact your portfolio administrator for more information.
This is how Buy Now, Pay Later works:
Figure:
Buy Now, Pay Later
The customer chooses their Buy Now, Pay Later payment method during
checkout.
The customer chooses how much they want to pay, such as nothing, installments,
or the total amount.
The unpaid amount is divided into equal installments that are paid over a fixed
amount of time.
You receive the full payment after the customer completes checkout, and the Buy
Now, Pay Later provider collects the installment payments from your
customer.
Unified Checkout
supports the Afterpay/Clearpay and Paypal Buy Now, Pay
Later payment methods.
Afterpay is a Buy Now, Pay Later service that allows customers to purchase items
immediately and pay for them in four interest-free installments over a period of 6
weeks. Afterpay is also known as Clearpay in the UK, and Cash App Afterpay in the US.
When the total amount of the order is outside the range of accepted transaction amounts,
the Afterpay/Clearpay payment button is not displayed in

Post-Pay Reference Payments
Post-pay reference payments provide an alternative way for your customers to complete
online purchases using cash. During checkout, customers select a voucher payment option
and receive a unique code or payment slip. To finalize their purchase, they visit a
designated offline location, such as a convenience store or payment kiosk, and pay the
required amount in person. Once the payment is made, the merchant receives a
notification that they can process the order.
Post-pay reference payments are widely used in countries where cash transactions are
common or where many customers don’t have access to credit or debit cards.
IMPORTANT
Before you can enroll in these alternative payment method on
Unified Checkout
, you must first be enabled for the alternative
payment platform. Contact your portfolio administrator for more information.
This is how post-pay reference payments work:
The customer selects a convenience store/voucher payment method during
checkout.
The customer receives their payment code/voucher or QR code.
The customer presents the payment code/voucher or QR in-store to complete the
payment.
The customer receives a notification that the payment is complete.

Server-Side Set Up
This section contains the information you need to
set up your server. Initializing
Unified Checkout
within your webpage
begins with a server-to-server call to the sessions API. This step authenticates your
merchant credentials, and establishes how the
Unified Checkout
frontend
components will function. The sessions API request contains parameters that define how
Unified Checkout
performs.
The server-side component provides this information:
A transaction-specific public key is used by the customer's browser to protect
the transaction.
An authenticated context description package that manages the payment experience on
the client side. It includes available payment options such as card networks,
payment interface styling, and payment methods.
The functions are compiled in a JSON Web Token (JWT) object referred to as the

The capture context request is a signed JSON Web Token
(JWT) that includes all of the merchant-specific parameters. This request tells the
frontend JavaScript library how to behave within your payment experience. The
request provides authentication, one-time keys, the target origin to the
Unified Checkout
integration in addition to allowed card networks and
payment types.
Browser Support
Unified Checkout
supports these browser versions:
Safari 16
Firefox 121
Google Chrome/Chium-based browsers 118
Microsoft Edge 118
Capture Context Example
Use the
targetOrigins
and the
allowedPaymentTypes
fields to define the target origin and
the accepted digital payment methods in your capture context. Use the
completeMandate
to orchestrate follow-on services such as
Payments,
: breaking changes that require code modifications
MINOR
: new features that are backwards compatible
PATCH
: bug fixes and improvements that are backwards compatible
The server controls which SDK version is loaded for each session that you request.
When your server creates a session, the response JWT includes a
clientLibrary
field that contains the full URL to the correct
version of the SDK. Your server parses the JWT, extracts the URL, and passes it to
the frontend to load dynamically.
IMPORTANT
The
clientVersion
field in the session
request is optional. When you do not include this field, the server
automatically resolves the appropriate version for every session. This ensures
that the client-side library and server-side features are compatible.
Cybersource
recommends that you do not include the
clientVersion
field in your request and that you use the
most recent version. When you do this, your integration benefits from new
features, payment methods, and improvements and there are no code changes
required.
Pin to a Version
If you must set your integration to a specific version, you can set the
clientVersion
field to a
MAJOR
version such as
1
, or a
MAJOR.MINOR
version such as
1.2
. The server uses the latest compatible patch release within
that range. This ensures that you continue to receive security fixes and bug
fixes.
IMPORTANT
You cannot pin to a specific patch version
(
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
). This ensures that all integrations
receive critical patches.
Cybersource
recommends omitting
clientVersion
from your request unless you have a
specific need for pinned behavior.
Below is a list of client versions and the features that are included in each
version.
IMPORTANT
Cybersource
recommends that you use the most recent client version in your integration.

Client-Side Set Up
This section contains the information you need to set up the client side. You use the
Unified Checkout
JavaScript library to add the payment interface to
your e-commerce site. It has two primary components:
The button widget, which lists the payment methods available to the customer.
The payment acceptance page, which captures payment information from the cardholder.
You can set up the payment acceptance page to be embedded with your webpage or added
as a sidebar.
Follow these steps to set up the client:
Load the JavaScript library.
Initialize the accept object, the capture context JWT. For information JSON Web
Tokens, see JSON Web Tokens.
Initialize the unified payment object with optional parameters.
Show the button list or payment acceptance page or both.
Process the payment request using the instructions included within the capture
mandate.
The response to these interactions is a transient token that you can use to retrieve the
payment information captured by the UI.
For information about handling the errors that may occur on the client-side, see Handle Errors.
Loading the JavaScript Library
Use the client library asset path and client library integrity value that is returned by
the capture context response to invoke
Unified Checkout
on your page.
You must retrieve these values from the
clientLibrary
and
clientLibraryIntegrity
fields that are returned in the JWT from
https://apitest.cybersource.com
/uc/v1/sessions
. You can
use these values to create your script tags.
You must perform this process for each transaction, as these values are unique for each
transaction. You must avoid hard-coding values for the
clientLibrary
and
clientLibraryIntegrity
fields to prevent client-side errors.
For example, a response from
https://apitest.cybersource.com
/uc/v1/sessions
would
include:
"data": {
"clientLibrary":"[EXTRACT clientLibrary VALUE from here]",
"clientLibraryIntegrity": "[EXTRACT clientLibraryIntegrity VALUE from here]"
}
Below is an example script
tag:
<script src="[INSERT clientLibrary VALUE HERE]"
integrity=”[INSERT clientLibraryIntegrity VALUE HERE]”
crossorigin=”anonymous”></script>
IMPORTANT
Use the
clientLibrary
and
clientLibraryIntegrity
parameter values in the capture context
response to obtain the
Unified Checkout
JavaScript library URL and the
integrity value. This ensures that you are always using the most up-to-date library and
protects against fraud. Do not hard-code the
Unified Checkout
JavaScript
library URL or integrity value.
When you load the library, the capture context from your initial server-side request is
used to invoke the accept function.
object, you can add the
payment application and payment acceptance pages to your webpage. You can attach the
embedded
Unified Checkout
tool and payment acceptance pages to any
named element within your HTML. Typically, they are attached to explicit named
components that are replaced with
Unified Checkout
’s iframes.
// Sidebar
const result = await checkout.mount('#buttons');
// Embedded
const result = await checkout.mount({
paymentSelection: '#buttons',
paymentScreen: '#form'
});
JavaScript Example: Client-Defined Trigger for
Click to Pay
or PAN
Entry
When you display
CLICKTOPAY
or
PANENTRY
as allowed
payment types, you can load the UI without displaying the
Unified Checkout
checkout button. You can do this by creating a trigger
that defines what event loads the UI.
// Automatic (default when completeMandate is in session)
const checkout = await client.createCheckout({ autoProcessing: true });
const result = await checkout.mount('#buttons');
// result is the completed transaction — no need to call complete()
// Manual - similar to v0
const checkout = await client.createCheckout({ autoProcessing: false });
const token = await checkout.mount('#buttons');
const result = await checkout.complete(token);
JavaScript Example: Authorization
Collect payment information and process an authorization. You must initiate a
separate capture request to move funds and complete the transaction.
async function launchCheckout() {
try {
const client = await VAS.UnifiedCheckout(sessionJWT);
const checkout = await client.createCheckout();
const result = await checkout.mount('#payment-buttons');
// result contains the completed payment result JWT
// Send result to your server for verification
sendToServer(result);
} catch (error) {
if (error.name === 'UnifiedCheckoutError') {
handleError(error.reason, error.message);
}
} finally {
checkout.destroy();
client.destroy();
}
}
launchCheckout();
Because the session includes
completeMandate
,
autoProcessing
defaults to
true
and
mount()
returns the completed payment result directly.
JavaScript Example: Sale
Collect payment information and process a sale. A sale is a combined authorization
and capture in a single step.
async function launchCheckout() {
try {
const client = await VAS.UnifiedCheckout(sessionJWT);
const checkout = await client.createCheckout();
const result = await checkout.mount('#payment-buttons');
// result contains the completed payment result JWT
// Send result to your server for verification
sendToServer(result);
} catch (error) {
if (error.name === 'UnifiedCheckoutError') {
handleError(error.reason, error.message);
}
} finally {
checkout.destroy();
client.destroy();
}
}
launchCheckout();
JavaScript Example: Sale with
Decision Manager
Collect payment information and process a sale while running
Decision Manager
fraud screening before the payment is initiated.
async function launchCheckout() {
try {
const client = await VAS.UnifiedCheckout(sessionJWT);
const checkout = await client.createCheckout();
const result = await checkout.mount('#payment-buttons');
// result contains the completed payment result JWT
// Send result to your server for verification
sendToServer(result);
} catch (error) {
if (error.name === 'UnifiedCheckoutError') {
handleError(error.reason, error.message);
}
} finally {
checkout.destroy();
client.destroy();
}
}
launchCheckout();
JavaScript Example: No Service Orchestration
Collect payment information and receive a transient token. Your server handles
payment authorization and any follow-on services directly.
async function launchCheckout() {
try {
const client = await VAS.UnifiedCheckout(sessionJWT);
const checkout = await client.createCheckout({ autoProcessing: false });
const transientToken = await checkout.mount('#payment-buttons');
// transientToken is a JWT — send it to your server
// Your server uses the transient token to authorize the payment
sendToServer(transientToken);
} catch (error) {
if (error.name === 'UnifiedCheckoutError') {
handleError(error.reason, error.message);
}
} finally {
checkout.destroy();
client.destroy();
}
}
launchCheckout();
Without a
completeMandate
,
autoProcessing
defaults to
false
and the
mount()
call returns a transient token
that you pass to your server for payment authorization. For information about how to use the
transient token in an authorization request, see Transient Tokens.

Manage Permissions
Portfolio administrators
can set permissions for new or existing
Business Center
user roles for
Unified Checkout
.
Administrators retain full read and write permissions. They enable you to regulate
access to specific pages and specify who can access, view, or amend digital products
within
Unified Checkout
.
Portfolio administrators
must apply the appropriate user role
permission for any existing or newly created
If you are a transacting merchant, you might find that your permissions are restricted.
If your permissions are restricted, a message appears indicating that you do not have
access, or buttons might appear gray. To make changes to your digital products within
Unified Checkout
that have restricted permissions, contact
your portfolio administrator's customer support
representative
Follow these steps to configure and manage user permissions in the

can select from these
Unified Checkout
permissions:
Unified Checkout View
Unified Checkout Manage
IMPORTANT
If you are a transacting merchant without view permissions,
Unified Checkout
will
still appear on the navigation bar, however, a
no access
message
appears when you access
Unified Checkout
.
If you are a transacting merchant
with view permissions but not management permissions, you can access the
Unified Checkout
screens and view the different
payment methods configurations, however, you cannot edit or enroll new
products.
Managing Permissions as
a Portfolio Administrator

Business Center
for
Unified Checkout
as a portfolio
administrator:
On the left navigation panel, navigate to
Account
Management
.
Click
Roles
to see a list of your user roles.
Click the pencil icon next to the user role that you want to update.
Click

IMPORTANT
If all permissions are left unselected, the user has restricted permission. A
no access
message appears when the user tries to access the
Unified Checkout
digital product enablement pages. The user is
advised to contact a customer representative.
If a portfolio user has view permissions and does not have a
management role, they can access the
Unified Checkout
pages, but they cannot modify toggles for different digital
payments.
Process Payments with
Unified Checkout
Payment processing is a payment completion option in your merchant configuration. Your
configuration determines if your checkout system automatically handles and finalizes
customer payments. When payment processing is enabled,
Unified Checkout
handles the complete payment for you automatically. When payment processing not enabled,
you complete payments independently using your selected gateway.
Payment Processing Enabled
Cybersource
recommends that you enable payment processing if you meet
these requirements:
Your integration is configured with the payment completion step. For more
information about
You do not have a designated technical team to process payments.
Your integration includes any of these features:
Fraud checks with
Decision Manager
or
Fraud Management Essentials
3-D Secure
/
Payer Authentication
Stored customer credentials with the
Token Management Service
(
TMS
)
Multiple payment methods
When payment processing is enabled, you can choose how payments should be handled:
Preferred Authorization
: The payment is authorized first and captured
at a later time. This method works well for businesses that ship products to
their customers. For example, you authorize the payment when the customer
places and order and capture the payment when you ship it.
Sale
: The payment is captured immediately. This method works well for
service businesses, digital products, and immediate purchases.
IMPORTANT
Not all payment methods are compatible with all processing
types. Different payment methods work with different payment processing types.
You must configure your payment processing settings to be compatible with your
integration and review which payment methods are compatible. For information
about payment methods and their processing compatibility, see Payment Methods.
Payment Processing Disabled
Cybersource
recommends
that you disable payment processing if you meet these requirements:
You want to process payments on
our platform
using your own API
requests instead of relying on the automatic payment completion step.
You want full control over your checkout and payment orchestration flow.
You only use
Unified Checkout
to collect encrypted payment
information and you handle the completion phase through
our platform
APIs or your custom back-end. The completion phase
includes authorization, sale, fraud checks,
3-D Secure
and card
storage.
When disable payment processing, the checkout system will collect payment
information from your customers but you will need to process the actual payment on
your end. When payment processing is disabled, you must consider the following:
Customer payments are not completed automatically.
Fraud checks and
3-D Secure
using automatic orchestration are
disabled.
Saved credentials and token management using automatic processing are
disabled.
You must handle payment completion yourself.
Webhooks Support
Unified Checkout
supports webhooks. You can use webhooks to obtain the
complete response from the
completeMandate
call. To receive a webhook
notification, you must first subscribe to the webhook.
Prerequisite
Webhook payloads are encrypted. In order to receive a
Unified Checkout
webhook notification, you must enabled message-level encryption (MLE). For
information about enabling MLE, see Enable Message-Level Encryption
in the
Getting Started with REST Developer Guide
.
Webhook Events
Unified Checkout
Webhook Events
Product ID
Event Types
Description
unifiedCheckout
uc.orders.transactionresults
Full payload response from the payment service call made by
field object contains the same fields as the response
from a direct payment authorization request. Use the
id
field for
capture requests or to look up a transaction.
Sessions API
Use the sessions API to generate a capture context. The capture context contains all of the
merchant-specific parameters that tell the front-end JavaScript library what to do within
your payment experience.
This section
Capture Context Components
The capture context is a signed JSON Web Token (JWT) containing this information:
Merchant-specific parameters that dictate the customer payment experience for the
current payment transaction.
A one-time public key that secures the information flow during the current payment
transaction.
recommends that you dynamically parse the response
for the fields that you are looking for when you integrate with
Cybersource
APIs.
Cybersource
may add additional
fields in the future.
You must ensure that your integration can handle new fields that are returned in
the response. Even though the underlying data structures do not change, you must
also ensure that your integration can handle changes to the order in which the
data is returned.
Cybersource
uses semantic versioning
practices, which enables you to retain backwards compatibility as new fields are
introduced in minor version updates.
To support dual-branded or co-badged cards, you must list your supported
card type values for the
allowedCardNetworks
field
based on your preference for processing card numbers. For example, if a
card is dual-branded as Visa and Cartes Bancaires, and Cartes Bancaires
is listed first, the card type is set to Cartes Bancaires after the card
number is entered in your
Unified Checkout
card collection
form. For information on dual-branded or co-badged cards, see Dual-Branded Cards.
IMPORTANT
Some card types, such as KCP and UATP, do not have security codes
(CVV or CVN). If you include only card types that do not have
security codes in the
allowedCardNetworks
field,
Unified Checkout
does not display the
security code field in the UI.
If you include card types that do not have security codes and cards types
that do have security codes in the
allowedCardNetworks
field,
Unified Checkout
displays the security code field in
the UI. The field is disabled in the UI when the cardholder enters a card
number for a card type with no security code
Target Origins
The target origin is defined by
the scheme (protocol), hostname (domain), and port number (if used).
You must use the https:// protocol. Sub domains must also be included in
the target origin.
Any valid top-level domains, such as .com, .co.uk, and .gov.br, are
supported. Wildcards are not supported.
For example, if you are launching
Unified Checkout
on
example.com, the target origin could be any of the following:
recommends that you do no include this field in your
uc/v1/sessions
API request. When you do not include this field,
Unified Checkout
automatically uses the latest available version.
This ensures access to the most recent enhancements and updates without requiring
integration changes.
When you include this field, the value must be provided in
MAJOR.MINOR
format (for example,
1.1
or
1.2
). For information about semantic versioning, see Versioning.
IMPORTANT
This field cannot be configured through the merchant
experience screens in the
Business Center
.
Auto-check Enrollment
You can have the
Click to Pay
box pre-checked when a user is
manually entering their card details and
Click to Pay
is
enabled. The customer can uncheck the box if necessary, which means the request is
processed as a one-time manual PAN transaction. This is available when you set the
billingType
field to
PARTIAL
or
FULL
in the capture context. This ensures that the customer's
billing country can be validated in the UI.
Click to Pay
enrollment pre-check is available in these countries:
loads, the payment buttons displayed are based on
what you include in the
allowedPaymentTypes
object in the capture
context.
Unified Checkout
enables you to customize the text on the
payment buttons. You can do this by setting the
buttonType
field
object in the capture context to one of these values:
ADD_CARD
CARD_PAYMENT
CHECKOUT_AND_CONTINUE
DEBIT_CREDIT
DONATE
PAY
PAY_WITH_CARD
SUBSCRIBE_WITH_CARD
If you do not include the
buttonType
field in your request, the
payment button text defaults to
Checkout with card
. For example:
Customize Button Text
Use the
buttonType
field to customize the text on payment
buttons:
Button Text Options
buttonType
Value
Button Display Text
ADD_CARD
Add card
CARD_PAYMENT
Card payment
CHECKOUT_AND_CONTINUE
Checkout and continue
DEBIT_CREDIT
Debit or credit
DONATE
Donate
PAY
Pay
PAY_WITH_CARD
Pay with card
SUBSCRIBE_WITH_CARD
Subscribe with card
When you do not include this field in your request, the default button text is
“Checkout with card.”
Complete Mandate
The complete mandate feature provides service orchestration within
Unified Checkout
and simplifies your integration. Service orchestration
enables
Unified Checkout
to orchestrate services on your behalf. The
complete mandate feature provides instructions to the
unifiedPayment.complete()
method in the JavaScript. You must
include both the
unifiedPayment.complete()
object in the
Javascript and the
completeMandate
field object in your capture
context to enable
Unified Checkout
to initiate services on your behalf
from the browser.
IMPORTANT
If you are updating an existing
Unified Checkout
configuration to use the complete mandate, you must update your JavaScript to
include the
unifedPayment.complete()
function.
IMPORTANT
When the
billingType
field is set to
NONE
you must include the required fields within the capture
context request to ensure that the required fields are included for payment
processing. For information about the fields that are required for payment services,
see the Payments Developer Guide.
completeMandate.type
This field is required to run the complete mandate and is used to indicate how a
payment should be processed.
Possible values:
AUTH
: Authorize the payment and capture the funds
at a later date.
CAPTURE
: Perform a sale. A sale is a combined
authorization and capture in a single request.
PREFER_AUTH
: Perform an authorization if possible.
If a payment method requires the funds to be captured immediately,
then
Unified Checkout
captures the payment.
completeMandate.decisionManager
This field determines whether
Decision Manager
is run. Set this field to
true
and include
completeMandate.type
in
your request to run
Decision Manager
and device fingerprinting services.
When
Decision Manager
runs, it uses the associated
Decision Manager
configuration based on the merchant ID that is included in the request.
When you meet these requirements, a new payment instrument or instrument
identifier is created under the specified customer token.
completeMandate.tms.tokenTypes
: This is an optional
field that you can use to indicate the token type for the token that is
created. When this field is not included in the request, a token is
created based on your
TMS
vault configuration.
You can set this field to these values:
customer
instrumentIdentifier
paymentInstrument
shippingAddress
If you want
Unified Checkout
to capture the
cardholder's consent to save the card before a request to create a
token is completed, then you must set
captureMandate.requestSaveCredentials
to
true
. When this field is set to
true
,
Unified Checkout
presents a
Save card for future payments
checkbox within the UI and
enables the cardholder to give consent. Do not include
captureMandate.requestSaveCredentials
in your
request if you have already gained cardholder consent to create a
TMS
token or do not require
consent.
This table indicates if a token is created given the

Capture Mandate
The capture mandate enables you to define which fields are captured within
Unified Checkout
. You must include the fields and set the values in the
capture context based on the information that you want
Unified Checkout
to collect. This enables the cardholder to review and edit their details where
the UI includes these fields. When the UI is used to capture cardholder information,
all captured information is available within the payment details API response. When

A combo card is a single card in Brazil that functions as both a debit and a credit
card.
Unified Checkout
enables the cardholder to choose whether to pay
for a transaction using a debit or credit card. The cardholder can choose the card
that they want to use when they enter their card details or when they choose a
stored Visa card from their
Click to Pay
wallet during checkout.
While in the card details section of the payment form, the cardholder is prompted
for a debit or credit card. Credit is the default option.
To enable combo cards during checkout, you must include the
comboCard
field in your capture context request and set the
field value to
true
. When the
comboCard
field
value is set to
true
, the option to use a debit or credit card
appears for all Visa cards that are entered in
Unified Checkout
and for all
cards that are already stored in
Click to Pay
. If you do not
want to offer a combo card at checkout, do not include the
comboCard
field in your capture context
request:
"captureMandate" : {
"comboCard": true
}
IMPORTANT
This feature is available only in
Brazil.
captureMandate.CPF
The Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas (CPF) Brazilian tax ID feature is for customers in
Brazil and provides your customers with a way to include their Consumer National
Identifier when it is requested at checkout. Include this field in the capture
context to display this field within the flow for manual card entry and
, you
can remove the final summary confirmation screens from the checkout experience. When
the UI displays cardholder data, the cardholder can review and, if necessary, edit
their payment details before checkout is complete.
: Only the billing postal code and billing country are
collected in the UI. Set to this value when you use relaxed address verification
services (AVS). This includes markets where postal code and billing country are
enough for successful payment processing.
NONE
: No fields are shown in the UI to capture cardholder billing
details. If you are using the Complete Mandate, you must provide billing details in
the capture context. All information that is collected from these fields is
tokenized in the transient token and sent for payment processing. For information
about which fields are required for payment processing, see the Payments Developer Guide.
FULL
: These fields are shown in the UI to capture cardholder billing
details. When you include the billing details in the capture context, these details
are pre-filled in the
Unified Checkout
UI. All information that is
collected from these fields are tokenized in the transient token and sent for
payment processing where the Complete Mandate is used.
captureMandate.requestEmail
False: No email address is shown in the UI. If you are using
Click to Pay
, this email address is used to find the cardholder's
Click to Pay
account and it appears in the UI when
requestEmail
is set to
false
.
True: The email address is shown and captured in the UI. If you are using
Click to Pay
, this email address is used to find the cardholder's
Click to Pay
account.
captureMandate.requestPhone
False: No phone number is shown or captured in the UI.
True: The phone number is shown and captured in the UI.
captureMandate.requestShipping
False: No shipping information is captured in the UI. When shipping details are
required for payment processing and are used for follow on services such as
Decision Manager
, you can include these fields in the capture context. These details are
tokenized and passed through.
True: Shipping fields are shown in the UI and are collected by
Unified Checkout
. When you include the shipping details in the capture
context, the information appears prefilled in the UI.
captureMandate.shipToCountries
When the
requestShipping
field is set to
true
,
only the countries that are included in this field can be selected by the cardholder for
their shipping address.
Include Card Prefix
You can control the length of the card number prefix to be received in the
response to the capture context
/sessions
request:
Six digits
Eight digits
No prefix
To specify your preferred card number prefix length, include or exclude the
transientTokenResponseOptions.includeCardPrefix
field in the
capture context
/sessions
request.
To receive a six-digit card
number prefix in the response, follow this step:
Do not
include the
transientTokenResponseOptions.includeCardPrefix
field in the
capture context
/sessions
request.
This example shows how a six-digit card number prefix
, an automatic email lookup occurs when an
email address is included in the capture context request. If the user has a
Click to Pay
account but is not on a recognized device, a one-time
password (OTP) screen appears and the user is prompted to enter their OTP. If the user
does not have a
Click to Pay
account, the user must enter their card
information manually. They will have the option to create a
Click to Pay
account.
To enable email autolookup, you must include
CLICKTOPAY
as a value in the
allowedPaymentTypes
field and include an email address in the
capture context.
Mobile as Identity for
Click to Pay
Click to Pay
supports mobile numbers as way to identify
a user. This enables cardholders to use their mobile number instead of their
email address in certain markets for Visa and Mastercard transactions.
When the
requestEmail
field is set to
false
and the
requestPhone
field is
set to
true
, the cardholder is identified using the
provided mobile number. When the
requestEmail
field is
set to
true
and the
requestPhone
field
is set to
false
, the cardholder is identified using the
provided email address. When the
requestEmail
field is
set to
true
and the
requestPhone
field
is also set to
true
, the cardholder is identified using the
provided email address first and then the mobile number if there is no
match.
The capture context that you generate is a JSON Web Token (JWT) data object. The JWT is
digitally signed using a public key and confirms the validity of the JWT and that it
comes from
Cybersource
. When you do not have a key in the JWT header,
Cybersource
recommends that you follow cryptography best practices
and validate the capture context signature.
To validate a JWT, you must obtain its public key. This public RSA key is in JSON Web Key
(JWK) format. The public key is associated with the capture context on the
Cybersource
domain.
To get the public key of a capture context from the header of the capture context itself,
you must retrieve the key ID associated with the public key and then pass the key ID to
the
/flex/v2/public-keys
endpoint:
From the header of the capture context, get the key ID
(
kid
):
{
"kid": "3g",
"alg": "RS256"
}
Send a GET request to the
/flex/v2/public-keys
endpoint and
include the key ID. For example:
Test:
GET
https://apitest.cybersource.com
/flex/v2/public-keys/{3g}
Production:
GET
https://api.cybersource.com
/flex/v2/public-keys/{3g}
Production in
Saudi Arabia:
GET
https://api.sa.cybersource.com
/flex/v2/public-keys/{3g}
Test in Saudi
Arabia:
GET
https://apitest.sa.cybersource.com
/flex/v2/public-keys/{3g}
Depending on the cryptographic method you use to validate the public key, you
might need to convert the key to privacy-enhanced mail (PEM) format.
The session JWT is digitally signed using RS256. You must confirm that it was issued by
Cybersource
and has not been tampered with. Follow these steps to
validate the signature:
Parse the session JWT header to extract the key ID
(
kid
):
{
"kid": "3g",
"alg": "RS256"
}
Retrieve the public key by sending a request to the
/flex/v2/public-keys/{kid}
endpoint:
Test
: GET
apitest.cybersource.com
flex/v2/public-keys/{kid}
Production
: GET
api.cybersource.com
flex/v2/public-keys/{kid}
Use the returned RSA public key in JSON Web Key format to verify the JWT
signature.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the cryptographic library that tou use, you
may need to convert the key to Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) format.
Transient Tokens
The response to a successful customer interaction with
Unified Checkout
is
a transient token. This is returned in the response from the
checkout.mount()
function. The transient token is a reference to
the payment data collected on your behalf. Transient tokens allow secure card payments
to occur without risk of exposure to sensitive payment information. The transient token
is a short-term token that expires after 15 minutes. This reduces your PCI
burden/responsibility and ensures that sensitive information is not exposed to your
back-end systems.
Transient tokens can be included requests sent to the Payment Details API for the
customer payment data that is collected.
Transient Token Format
The transient token is issued as a JSON Web Token (JWT) (RFC 7519).
For information on JSON Web Tokens, see JSON Web Tokens.
The payload portion of the token is a Base64URL-encoded JSON string and contains various
claims. For more information, see JSON Web Tokens.
The empty field values in the transient token indicate which fields
were captured by the application without exposing you to personally identifiable
information directly.
PAN BIN in
metadata
Object
The
cardDetails
object, including the PAN BIN, is included in the
transient token
metadata
when a
Click to Pay
network token is used as a payment method. This allows you to display information about
the card on invoices and see the BIN details that are linked to the underlying card.
and enables you to determine if the payload is fully
authenticated. When
cardholderAuthenticationStatus
is set to
true
, the payload is fully authenticated. When
cardholderAuthenticationStatus
is set to
false
, the
transaction is not authenticated.
If you are using
Unified Checkout
with
unifiedPayment.complete()
and
consumerAuthentication
is set to
true
in the
complete mandate request, then
Payer Authentication
is called automatically if it
is available for the selected payment method and card network. If you use a transient
token to request follow-on services directly, the value of this field indicates if the
transaction has been
authenticated.
When you receive the transient token, you should cryptographically verify its integrity
using the public key embedded within the capture context. Doing so verifies that
Cybersource
issued the token and that the data has not been tampered
with in transit. Verifying the transient token JWT involves verifying the signature and
various claims within the token. Programming languages each have their own specific
libraries to assist.
accepts dual-branded cards. To use this feature, you must
include the card networks that have overlapping BIN ranges in the capture context
request. For
example:
When a card number within an overlapping BIN range is entered, the network that is listed
first in the value array for the
allowedCardNetworks
field is used.
Based on the previous example, if the card number 403550XXXXXXXXXX is entered, the
payment network for payment processing is Visa.
During the transaction, the card type is populated with the first network in the list,
and the
detectedCardTypes
field returned in the transient token includes all of
the detected card types in the transient token.
The
detectedCardTypes
field is returned in the transient token
response only when more than one card type is detected.
If you include Cartes Bancaires as a supported dual-branded card type,
Unified Checkout
displays a radio button with Visa and Mastercard options at
checkout. This enables the customer to select which payment scheme they want to use to
process the payment. The radio button defaults to the card type that you specify in the
capture context request, but the payment is processed using the option selected by the
customer during checkout.
Authorizations with a Transient Token
This section provides the information required in order to perform a successful authorization
with a
Unified Checkout
transient token. You can use this method to construct
more complex payment scenarios that are not supported by the
unifiedPayments.complete()
payment method.
IMPORTANT
When you process payments through
Unified Checkout
using
unifiedPayments.complete()
,
Unified Checkout
invokes
service orchestration directly. When you send an authorization request using a transient
token, you must request the follow-on services that you want to use. For information about
the required fields for the payment services that you request, see the Payments Developer Guide.
The transient token is a short-term token that expires after 15 minutes. Doing so eliminates
the need to send sensitive payment data along with the request. For more information on
transient tokens, see Transient Tokens.
To send the transient token with a request, use the
tokenInformation.transientTokenJwt
field.
This example shows a transient token in the context of an authorization
request:
endpoint. This data includes cardholder name and billing and shipping details. For more information, see Payment Details API.
IMPORTANT
Fields supplied directly in an API request supersede those that are also present in the transient token. For example, in the request below, the total amount might have been overridden because of a tax calculation.

Payment Details API
This section contains the information you need to retrieve the non-sensitive data associated
with a
Unified Checkout
transient token and the payment details API. This API
can be used to retrieve personally identifiable information, such as the cardholder name and
billing and shipping details, without retrieving payment credentials, which helps ease the PCI
compliance burden.
There are two methods of authentication, and they are described in the
recommends that you dynamically parse the response
for the fields that you are looking for when you integrate with
Cybersource
APIs.
Cybersource
may add additional
fields in the future.
You must ensure that your integration can handle new fields that are returned in
the response. Even though the underlying data structures do not change, you must
also ensure that your integration can handle changes to the order in which the
data is returned.
Cybersource
uses semantic versioning
practices, which enables you to retain backwards compatibility as new fields are
introduced in minor version updates.

The
{jti}
is the ID of the
JWT within the transient token that is returned by
Unified Checkout
.
The transient token is a JWT object that you retrieved as part of a successful
capture of payment information from a cardholder.
JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are digitally signed JSON objects based on the open standard RFC 7519. These tokens provide a compact, self-contained
method for securely transmitting information between parties. These tokens are
signed with an RSA-encoded public/private key pair. The signature is calculated
using the header and body, which enables the receiver to validate that the content
has not been tampered with.
A JWT takes the form of a string, and consists of three parts separated by dots:
<Header>.<Payload>.<Signature>
The header and payload is
Base64-encoded JSON
and contains these claims:
Header
: The algorithm and token type. For
example:
{
"kid": "zu",
"alg": "RS256"
}
Payload
: The claims of what the token represents. For
example:
: The signature is computed from the header and payload using a
secret or private key.
IMPORTANT
When working with JWTs,
Cybersource
recommends that you use a well- maintained JWT library to ensure proper decoding
and parsing of the JWT.
IMPORTANT
When parsing the JWT’s JSON payload, you must ensure that you
implement a robust solution for transversing JSON. Additional elements can be
added to the JSON in future releases. Follow JSON parsing best practices to
ensure that you can handle the addition of new data elements in the future.

Update to
Unified Checkout
Version 1
The version 1 (v1) SDK simplifies your integration with fewer lines of code, a
streamlined API, and enhancements such as auto-processing and a
full event
system. The core flow is the same in v1, and migrating to v1 involves only
straightforward method renames.

Initialization
Initialization with
Unified Checkout
v1 is done in a single
asynchronous factory call. There is no intermediate
Accept
object:
v0 Initialization
const accept = new Accept(sessionJWT);
const up = accept.unifiedPayments();
v1 Complete Transactions Manually or Automatically
// Automatic (default when completeMandate is in session)
const checkout = await client.createCheckout({ autoProcessing: true });
const result = await checkout.mount('#buttons');
// result is the completed transaction — no need to call complete()
// Manual - similar to v0
const checkout = await client.createCheckout({ autoProcessing: false });
const token = await checkout.mount('#buttons');
const result = await checkout.complete(token);
Events
Unified Checkout
v0 does not include an event system, as the
integration resolution or rejection from
show()
and
complete()
. v1 includes a full event system as the client and
integration levels.
const trigger = client.createTrigger('CLICKTOPAY');
const result = await trigger.mount('#screen');
Update Reason Codes
Some reason codes were renamed in v1. This table shows the v0 reason code name and the
corresponding name in the v1 client-side SDK:
v0 Reason Code

IMPORTANT
The server-side API continues to return these v0 reason
codes. The v1 reason codes listed here are used only in the client-side SDK. For
all v1 client-side error codes, see Handle Errors.
Version 1 Update Checklist
You must complete these tasks before you can complete your migration from
Add event listeners for observability. For example,
client.on('error')
and
checkout.on('ready')
.
Security Recommendations
Unified Checkout
is compliant with Payment Card Industry (PCI)
Self-Assessment Questionnaire A (SAQ-A).
Cybersource
recommends that
you consider these security policies so you can maintain a secure integration.
Content Security Policy
Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) to mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks. Add these directives for
Unified Checkout
:
CSP Directives
Directive
Test
Production
connect-src
https://apitest.cybersource.com
https://api.cybersource.com
frame-src
https://apitest.cybersource.com
https://api.cybersource.com
child-src
https://apitest.cybersource.com
https://api.cybersource.com
script-src
https://apitest.cybersource.com
https://api.cybersource.com
These directives enable the SDK to load secure iframes and communicate with
Cybersource
services.
IMPORTANT
When you use additional payment methods such as Google Pay or
PayPal, you must also add their respective domains to your CSP
directives.
Iframe Isolation
Unified Checkout
renders all payment UI inside cross-origin iframes
hosted by
Cybersource
. This architecture provides several security benefits:
Data isolation
: Your page cannot access payment data within the
iframe due to the browser’s same-origin policy.
Reduced attack surface
: Attackers cannot extract card data from the
isolated iframe if your merchant page is compromised.
Origin verification
: The SDK validates that the hosting page origin
matches the
targetOrigins
that is declared in the session
before displaying any UI.
Do not attempt to access or manipulate the contents of the payment iframes. The
browser blocks cross-origin access by design.
Token Security
A session is a signed JWT with a short lifespan.
Cybersource
recommends that you follow these practices:
Generate a new session for each checkout. Do not reuse sessions across
checkouts or customers.
Keep the session server-side until needed. Pass it to the client only when
the customer is ready to pay.
Set
targetOrigins
to only the domains that host the SDK. Do
not use wildcard origins or include domains that do not need access.
The transient token returned by
mount()
or
complete()
expires after 15 minutes.
Cybersource
recommends that you follow these practices:
Send the transient token to your server immediately after receiving it.
Verify the token signature using the public key from the session before
authorizing the payment. For verification details, see Transient Tokens.
Do not store transient tokens in browser storage
(
localStorage
,
sessionStorage
, or
cookies). Process them server-side and discard.
Immutable API
The client interface that is returned by
VAS.UnifiedCheckout()
is
frozen with
Object.freeze()
. This prevents runtime tampering, which
means that no properties can be added, removed, or modified on the client, checkout,
trigger, or button objects. Do not attempt to modify or extend the SDK objects. If
you need custom behavior, use the event system to react to SDK state changes.
Cleanup
You must always call
destroy()
on the client when the payment flow
is complete or the customer navigates away. This removes all iframes and clears
internal state:
checkout.destroy();
client.destroy();
If you do not destroy the client, you could leave payment iframes in the page after
they are no longer needed.
PCI Compliance
The least burdensome level of Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is Self-Assessment Questionnaire A (SAQ-A). To be compliant
with SAQ-A, you must securely capture sensitive payment data with a validated
payment provider.
Unified Checkout
meets this requirement by rendering
secure iframes hosted by
Cybersource
. Payment data is submitted
directly to
Cybersource
and never touches your systems.
Security Architecture
Unified Checkout
uses many layers of protection to be compliant with
PCI SAQ-A guidelines:
Iframe isolation
: All payment UI renders inside cross-origin iframes
hosted by
Cybersource
. Your page cannot access payment data
within the iframe due to the browser’s same-origin policy.
Origin verification
: The SDK validates that the hosting page origin
matches the
targetOrigins
declared in the session.
Immutable API
: The client interface returned by
VAS.UnifiedCheckout()
is frozen with
Object.freeze()
. This prevents runtime tampering.
Closure-based privacy
: The internal SDK state is not accessible from
outside the SDK. There are no public properties that expose session data or
credentials.
Short-lived tokens
: The session and transient tokens expire after a
short period, limiting the window for misuse
Because
Unified Checkout
handles payment data capture within secure
iframes, your page never receives, processes, or stores cardholder data. This means
that you qualify for SAQ-A over the more burdensome SAQ A-EP or SAQ D and your PCI
audit scope is significantly reduced compared to direct API integrations.
Even with all that
Unified Checkout
handles, you must still do the
following to remain SAQ-A compliant:
All pages that load the SDK must use Transport Layer Security (TLS).
You must restrict which domains can load scripts and frames. For information
about the required directives, see Security Recommendations.
You must generate a new session for each checkout and restrict
targetOrigins
to only your domains.
You must send transient tokens to your server over HTTPS and verify their
signatures before authorizing payments.
