The Card Registration object
Description
Mangopay relies on the Card Registration object to safely tokenize a card and create the Card object.
Successfully registering a card to create the Card object is a multiple-step process. It is necessary to process card payments (direct, preauthorized, and recurring card pay-ins) or validate the card.
Note – Card validation within 24 hours
A successful transaction (preauthorization, pay-in, or recurring) or card validation within 24 hours of the card registration is required to validate a card. Otherwise, the card becomes invalid and a new card registration will be necessary.
Warning – End user approval
Under no circumstances should card information be kept without the end user’s approval. If you don’t have the end user’s approval, you need to deactivate the card.
Best practice – Use Checkout SDK
Simplify payments by card and other payment methods with the Mangopay Checkout SDK.
