Payment sources

A payment source is a stored means of payment held against a customer, a card, a bank account for direct debit, or a PayTo agreement. The type on the body tells you which you have.

Card details go through the PCI vault: you send the card number, the vault tokenises it, and the clear number never reaches this service.

A temporary card is for one payment and is owned by the merchant rather than by a customer, it never appears in a customer's wallet, and it is how a guest checkout takes a card.
