Introduction to Saved Cards

Saved Cards have two separate use-cases.

a) 1-click-payments for returning customers. With Saved Cards you can offer your customers a lot of convenience with Quickpay Saved Cards. With this feature your customers will only have to authorize their credit card once - after that they can pay without filling in their payment details.

Please note that Saved Cards can not currently be used for “1-click-payments” because of the PSD2 regulations. Read more in the PSD2 section below.

b) Non-scheduled recurring payments. While [subscriptions] are meant for scheduled recurring payments, in some cases you want to accept recurring payments from your customers, that are not scheduled.

PSD2

Saved Cards are currently only available for non-scheduled recurring payments, where the cardholder is not present. Read more on PSD2 and Quickpay

We expect Saved Cards to be available for “1-click-payments” again during 2025.

First step is to create a new card entity in Quickpay.

Example request:

curl -u ':APIKEY' \
     -H 'content-type:application/json' \
     -H 'Accept-Version:v10' \
     -X POST \
     https://api.quickpay.net/cards

Example response (snippet):

{
  "id":2886958,
  "merchant_id":1234
  ...
}
PUT /cards/{id}/link Create or update a card link

Next step is to authorize the card.

The recommended way is to request the Quickpay API for a payment link, where your customer can fill in their card information.

Selected parameters. See more in the API documentation.

Parameter Description Parameter type Data type Required?
id Transaction id path integer true

Example request:

curl -u ':APIKEY' \
     -H 'content-type:application/json' \
     -H 'Accept-Version:v10' \
     -X PUT \
     https://api.quickpay.net/cards/2886958/link

Example response:

{
  "url":"https://payment.quickpay.net/cards/b4674ca58c6c8a2afeea105fb1b5ca22293a1dc17fa852afa0495010999c2d00"
}

When your customer has filled in the card information using the link, the saved card is now authorized.

No funds are withdrawn from your customer yet.

3. Create token

POST /cards/{id}/tokens Create card token

As of now the customers card is authorized, but no funds have been withdrawed from their account.

Each time the card should be used, your system request the Quickpay API for a token from the Saved Card.

This token can be used once to authorize a payment, subscription or payout.

curl -u ':APIKEY' \
     -H 'content-type:application/json' \

  "is_used":false,
  "created_at":"2017-10-25T13:16:24Z"
  ...
}

The token can now be used to complete a payment, subscription or payout.

     -d '{"card":{"token":"b1467a5e-9927-4574-a065-e704144faae6"},
          "amount":1000}'
     https://api.quickpay.net/payment/98648340/authorize

  "id":98648340,
  "merchant_id":1234,
  "order_id":"test1ab",
  "accepted":false,
  "state":"pending"

}

In the response the payments state is pending, as the authorize is not yet approved or rejected by your acquirer.

Use GET /payments/98648340 to check the payment status, by looking at the accepted parameter.
