You can create a token with arbitrary user parameters. You send these
parameters when obtaining the token and receive them back after a successful
payment. A token can only contain parameters either described in this
document or predefined by you.
If any parameter is sent in the wrong format or has the wrong type, no token
will be issued. You will receive a 422 HTTP code with the error description
in the JSON body. In extended_message you will receive an information what
exact parameters have been sent incorrectly.
By default, the token lifetime is 24 hours. If you want to change this value, contact your Customer Success Manager or send an email to csm@xsolla.com. The new value will be enabled for all your company’s projects created in Publisher Account.
Notice
The token you obtain after calling this API method can be used only for authorizing other requests. You can use this token to open the payment UI only if you integrated the Subscriptions product.
To open the payment UI in a new window, use the following link: https://secure.xsolla.com/paystation4/?token={token}, where {token} is the received token.
For testing purposes, use this URL: https://sandbox-secure.xsolla.com/paystation4/?token={token}.
Notice
This API call does not contain the project_id path parameter, so you need to use the API key that is valid in all the company’s projects to set up authorization.
