Single Use Token Transaction

STEP 1. Request a Public API Key

The first step is to retrieve a Public API Key so that it can be used during the authentication process when requesting a Single Use Token (STEP 2) from the card holders browser.

The merchant server requests a Public API Key from the ANYpay Gateway Public Key Service using Basic Authentication. Providing the authentication process is successful a PublicApiKey along with expiresAt is returned.

Key elements when requesting a Public API Key

  • The merchant will be required to securely store the Public API Key
  • The duration of expiresAt field is a configurable field
  • A merchant can choose the frequency of how often they wish to retrieve a new Public API Key, this is also dependent on when the Public API Key expires

STEP 2. Create a Single Use Token

The merchant website CREATES a payment form and SENDs it to the cardholders browser.

Once the card details have been entered onto the merchants payment form, when posting card details for a payment directly from a browser to the ANYpay Gateway you will receive a single-use token that will be used to represent the card information your customer has entered..

Authentication for Single Use Token
