Generate Token - ccgettoken

This section describes the message parameters for Credit Card Tokenization, which you can submit using the Hosted Payments, Checkout.js, and XML API integration methods. Refer to the Integration Methods section for more information.

The ccgettoken transaction generates a token from a card number or an existing recurring/installment in the recurring batch. The token generated can be used in place of a credit card number in any subsequent transactions. Additionally, you can request to add the generated token to Card Manager.

This transaction is supported only when a terminal is setup for tokenization for hand-keyed cards only. Refer to the Tokenization section for more information.

Examples

important

In all of these examples, you will have to change the data values, such as my_merchant_id, my_user_id, my_pin, and transaction data to match your Converge account and meet the needs of your website.
Code samples provided are for demonstration only and should not be used for live transactions. All sensitive merchant data, including transaction amounts and your Converge credentials, should be placed in server side code.
