It is possible to provide buyer details, including the shipping and billing details, without the need to create a buyer resource. You can send the buyer details directly when the transaction is requested, either to our API, Embed, or Secure Fields.

Limitations

There are a few limitations to using in-line buyer details like this, rather than using a stored buyer record.

  • A guest buyer cannot use a payment method which is assigned to another buyer resource.
  • A guest buyer cannot redeem gift cards which are assigned to another buyer resource.
  • A buyer resource can not be created when using in-line buyer data. Please use the new buyers endpoint instead.
