Creates a single-use token that represents a credit card’s details. You can use this token in place of a credit card dictionary with any v1 API method. You can only use these tokens once by creating a new Charge object or by attaching them to a Customer object.

To use this functionality, you need to enable access to the raw card data APIs. In most cases, you can use our recommended payments integrations instead of using the API.

Parameters

  • cardobject | string

    The card this token will represent. If you also pass in a customer, the card must be the ID of a card belonging to the customer. Otherwise, if you do not pass in a customer, this is a dictionary containing a user’s credit card details, with the options described below.

Returns

Returns the created card token if it’s successful. Otherwise, this call raises an error.

Creates a single-use token that represents an updated CVC value that you can use for CVC re-collection. Use this token when you confirm a card payment or use a saved card on a PaymentIntent with confirmation_method: manual.

For most cases, use our JavaScript library instead of using the API. For a PaymentIntent with confirmation_method: automatic, use our recommended payments integration without tokenizing the CVC value.

Parameters

  • cvc_updateobjectRequired

    The updated CVC value this token represents.

Returns

Returns the created CVC update token if it’s successful. Otherwise, this call raises an error.
