The primary function of CCBill's RESTful API is to enable merchants to create payment tokens<\/a> and use them to charge customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCBill's RESTful API allows you to take full advantage of CCBill's payment platform without utilizing CCBill's hosted payment forms<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the API, you only need to ask customers for payment information once. For any subsequent transactions, you can use their tokenized data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can develop customer-facing and backend applications to access RESTful API resources programmatically and seamlessly integrate CCBill's payment processing solutions into payment flows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the RESTful API to deliver an engaging and frictionless checkout experience regardless of the device or platform the customer is using.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Getting Started<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Merchants need to build apps that capture customer payment data and send structured API calls<\/a> to CCBill RESTful API endpoints<\/a>. The API requests must be structured according to the CCBill RESTful API documentation.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before proceeding with the API integration<\/a>, merchants must open a payment processing account and register their apps with CCBill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

1. Open a CCBill Merchant Account<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

If you do not have a CCBill Merchant account, contact CCBill Sales<\/a> or use the APPLY NOW<\/a> button on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCBill employs a dedicated team of professionals to assist merchants and ensure that the onboarding process is completed with minimal friction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Merchant Support Service<\/a> is available 24\/7 and offers complete technical and administrative support regarding CCBill services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Register App with CCBill<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Before accessing the API, you need to register your application with CCBill Merchant Support<\/a> and inform them you need a RESTful API setup on your merchant account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the setup and registration are complete, the Merchant Support team will provide frontend <\/strong>and backend credentials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These credentials are required to generate OAuth bearer tokens<\/a> to authenticate and authorize your API requests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Example<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the support team will set up a test account that allows you to test API calls and responses and optimize the RESTful API integration before going live.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Payment Flow<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

1. Provide Payment Information<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Customer payment details (such as the credit card number, expiration date, cardholder name, etc.) must be collected through a payment form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merchants can design custom payment forms and apps to capture this information and then forward the data in an API request to the correct endpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

To comply with banking regulations, your payment forms must display card logos for the accepted card schemes and payment methods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The CCBill RESTful API uses the captured data to create a unique payment token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
