Developer Pay: Retrieve vaulted token for future use without transaction

Developer Pay: Retrieve vaulted token for future use without transaction

What is the flow for retrieving a credit card token without making a payment through the Developer Pay API. We need the ability to allow users to update payment details without charging the card at that moment.

Hi, @ageiser.

Unfortunately, there is not a way to generate or retrieve a vaulted card token without first making a successful payment via Developer Pay API or Secure Pay.

Hi, as I understand the developer pay api is being depricated, what is the current method of retrieving card token for future transactions? We do not want to enter credit card details manually, but used to get it via Secure Pay intent, which would return vaulted card object after successful transaction. Then we would use developer pay api to make transactions in the future. Please share what is the current implementation for this flow, thank you!

I think this flow is something that is being worked but it is not currently available. Tokens returned by Secure Pay are not currently compatible with our Ecomm APIs. If you are looking for a card present solution the only option right now is our Rest Pay Display API that is in beta. With this API a card can be tokenized on the device and an ecomm token can be returned, more information here https://docs.clover.com/docs/creating-a-card-token.

Thank you David. And from the android sdk perspective, I am looking at this page: https://docs.clover.com/docs/supported-methods-by-device and seems like VaultCard is checked. Is it not possible to receive the token that way and use it for subsequent payments? If I understood your previous answer correctly it is not possible, but still want to check. Thank you.

No, it is not currently possible. The token returned via the Android SDK is not compatible with Ecomm.
