Payment Method Management

Payment Method Cloning

Payment method cloning is a feature that enables the duplication of a saved payment method from one account to another. This functionality is useful for merchants who operate multiple accounts, as it allows them to reuse a cardholder's saved payment information across different brands and websites. By cloning the payment method, the merchant can process recurring payments for the same customer without requiring the customer to re-enter their card details for each account.

How to Enable Payment Method Cloning

Before you start enabling this feature, make sure that your Cardaq account manager has given you payment method cloning permission. Go to Gateway, find the E-commerce and API section and open the settings for the desired keys set. In the Permission section, expand the Clients field and enable the payment method cloning endpoint.

}

The request body above includes only the mandatory parameters for the request type. In case optional parameters are needed, see API Reference.
