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. Doong so eliminates the need to send sensitive payment data along with the request.

To send the transient token with a request, use the

tokenInformation.transientTokenJwt

field.

An API request made with a transient token looks like this:

"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.

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.
