Step 4: Create a transaction
The final step is to use the card data stored using Secure Fields to either create a transaction or store a card on file for later use.
Create a transaction
Card data stored in a checkout session can be used to create a transaction.
The returned transaction includes details about the payment method used, and the status of the transaction.
Store a card for later use
Card data in a checkout session can also be used to create a stored payment
method that can be used again later. This can be done either at the time of creating a transaction by
setting the store
property to true
,
or when creating a new payment method
directly from the checkout session.
This will delete the security_code
from the
vault and any transaction created later will require the code to be
requested again.
3-D Secure
3-D Secure can be used in conjunction with Secure Fields using our hosted 3DS solution. To enable hosted 3DS, add a redirect_url
to the API call to create a transaction, and then redirect the buyer to the approval_url
in the response.
