Authorizations with a Transient Token

This section provides the minimum 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

unifiedPayment.complete()

payment method.

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 is an example of a transient token in the context of an authorization request:

"tokenInformation":{ 
    "transientTokenJwt": "eyJraWQiOiIwOG4zUnVsRTJGQXJDRktycVRkZFlkWGZSWFhMNXFoNSIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJpc3MiOiJGbGV4LzA3IiwiZXhwIjoxNTk3MDg0ODk3LCJ0eXBlIjoiZ2RhLTAuMS4xIiwiaWF0IjoxNTk3MDgzOTk3LCJqdGkiOiIxQzI2VlpSkVJUU1PTzVIMDUwNEtINDdJMEFNMklaRkM0M1Y1TDU0MUhCTE45Q09JM0w3NUYzMTk0RTE5NkExIn0.SNm1VZaZr3DkTqUg9CdV0F5arRe-uQU9oUWPKfWIpbIzIPZutRokv5DSDcM7asZIKNJyNIBx5DLsl_yQPrKgzhwQxZ8qbhto7cu3t-v8DHG2yO951plPQVQnj7x-vEDcXkLUL1F8sqY23R5HW-xSDAQ3AFLawCckn7Q2eudRGeuMhLWH742Gflf9Hz3KyKnmeNKA3o9yW2na16nmeVZaYGqbUSPVITdl5cMA0o9lEob8E3OQH0HHdmIsu5uMA4x7DeBjfTKD1rQxFP3JBNVcv30AIMLkNcw0pHbtHDVzKBWxUVxvnm3zFEdiBuSAco2uWhC9zFqHrrp64ZvzxZqoGA"}

To retrieve non-sensitive data from a

Unified Checkout

transient token, use the

payment-details

endpoint. This data includes cardholder name and billing and shipping details. For more information, see Payment Details API.
