How do you generate a token/cryptogram via the .NET SDK? #230

Closed ZacP closed 6 years ago

ZacP commented 6 years ago

I understand how to process a payment via the transaction request and setting the cryptogram on the creditCardType. However, I don't understand how to generate the token via the API. I'd expect that we'd pass in the CC information via a "get token" transaction type and then use that token instead of the CC information moving forward. I can't find a method that allows this.

Any suggestions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @ZacP to generate a token/cryptogram which can be used to charge a credit card you will need the token to be issued by a certified token provider like Apple/Android/Samsung, and then use the charge tokenized card API.

So, if you want to pass the CC details only once and charge it later you can you the Card-on-file or better known as Customer Profile feature of Authorize.Net.

Create a Customer Payment Profile for the customer and in response you get back an ID. You can later use the ID in the Charge Customer Profile API to charge the CC.
