Option 1: Pass in the card number

Learn how to pass in required fields to generate a token for a credit card payment method, ensuring secure transactions.

In your request, pass in the following required fields. A token is generated when validating the payment method with the gateway. Both the card information and the token are stored for the payment method but the token is used in processing subsequent payment transactions.


Required Field	Type	Description
accountKey	string	Zuora internal ID of the customer account that will own the payment method.
cardNumber	string	The credit card number.
cardHolderInfo	object	The container for cardholder information. The nested `cardHolderName` field is required. Pass in the card holder's full name as it appears on the card, such as "Amy Lawrence", 50 characters or less.
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.
type	string	The type of the payment method. Specify `CreditCard` in this field.
tokenize	boolean	default: false Specify `true` for this field to tokenize the payment method with the card number.

Here is an example of the API request for creating a tokenized Credit Card payment method:

{
    "accountKey": "8a90d6128d45df2b018d4b90681c05x0",

    },
