Create payment methods

Create Credit Card payment methods using REST API operations, including required fields and tokenization options.

You can create Credit Card payment methods by using the REST API operations for creating payment methods, such as Create a payment method . In your request, pass in the following required fields.


Required Field	Type	Description
accountKey	string	Zuora internal ID of the customer account that will own the payment method.
cardHolderInfo	object	Container for cardholder information. The nested `cardHolderName` field is required.
cardMaskNumber	string	The masked card number.
cardNumber	string	The card number.
cardType	string	The type of the credit card.
expirationMonth	integer	One or two-digit expiration month (1-12) of the credit card.
expirationYear	integer	Four-digit expiration year of the credit card.
tokenize	boolean	Default: false Specify `true` to tokenize the payment method with the card information.
tokens	object	The container for the token information. Pass in your existing token information through the following nested fields: `gatewayType` Type: string The type of payment gateway to generate the token. This field is case-sensitive. Specify `Planet` in this field. `tokenId` Type: string Specify the value of `SCA Transaction Reference Id` returned from Datatrans. `SCA Transaction Reference Id` will be stored in Zuora. When processing payments, `tokenId` containing `SCA Transaction Reference Id` will be mapped to `card.cardOnFile.id` in the Datatrans Authorize a transaction API. Note that the cardOnFile feature needs to be enabled on the merchant configuration in Datatrans. `secondTokenId` Type: string Pass in the second token of the payment method if available. `thirdTokenId` Type: string Pass in the third token of the payment method if available.
type	string	The type of the payment method. Specify `CreditCard` in this field.
