}payment_source. This is always the same as the business entity of the customer. This API offers an alternative way to create a payment source using a single-use gateway temporary token, which is generally provided by your payment gateway. In the case of Stripe, this temporary token is generated according to the instruction detailed in Stripe documentation.
Storing card after successful 3DS completion is not supported in this API. Use create using Payment Intent API under Payment source to store the card after successful 3DS flow completion.
checkout_com: While adding a new payment method using permanent token or passing raw card details to Checkout.com, document ID and country_of_residence are required to support payments through dLocal.payer: User related information.country_of_residence: This is required since the billing country associated with the user's payment method may not be the same as their country of residence. Hence the user's country of residence needs to be specified. The country code should be a two-character ISO code.document: Document ID is the user's identification number based on their country.bluesnap: While passing raw card details to BlueSnap, if fraud_session_id is added, additional validation is performed to avoid fraudulent transactions.fraud: Fraud identification related information.fraud_session_id: Your BlueSnap fraud session ID required to perform anti-fraud validation.braintree: While passing raw card details to Braintree, your fraud_merchant_id and the user's device_session_id can be added to perform additional validation and avoid fraudulent transactions.fraud: Fraud identification related information.device_session_id: Session ID associated with the user's device.fraud_merchant_id: Your merchant ID for fraud detection.chargebee_payments: While passing raw card details to Chargebee Payments, if fraud_session_id is added, additional validation is performed to avoid fraudulent transactions.fraud: Fraud identification related information.fraud_session_id: Your Chargebee Payments fraud session ID required to perform anti-fraud validation.bank_of_america: While passing raw card details to Bank of America, your user's device_session_id can be added to perform additional validation and avoid fraudulent transactions.fraud: Fraud identification related information.device_session_id: Session ID associated with the user's device.ecentric: This parameter is used to verify and process payment method details in Ecentric. If the merchant_id parameter is included, Chargebee will vault it / perform a lookup and verification against this merchant_id, overriding the one configured in Chargebee. If tokens and processing occur in the same Merchant GUID, you can just skip this part. merchant_id: Merchant GUID where the card is vaulted or need to be vaulted.ebanx: While passing raw card details to EBANX, the user's document is required for some countries and device_session_id can be added to perform additional validation and avoid fraudulent transactions. payer: User related information. document: Document is the user's identification number based on their country. fraud: Fraud identification related information. device_session_id: Session ID associated with the user's device This API provides an alternative way to create a payment source using a permanent token, instead of having to add the full payment method details via API or the Chargebee UI. Permanent tokens are provided by payment gateways such as Stripe.
Storing card after successful 3DS completion is not supported in this API. Use create using Payment Intent API under Payment source to store the card after successful 3DS flow completion.
The reference id. In the case of Amazon and PayPal, this will be the billing agreement ID. For GoCardless direct debit this will be mandate_id. In the case of a card, this will be the identifier provided by the gateway or card vault for the specific payment method resource.
Note:
This is not the one-time temporary token provided by gateways like Stripe.
reference_id is an alternative for payment_method_token, customer_profile_token, network_transaction_id, or mandate_id.
payment_method_token, customer_profile_token, network_transaction_id, or mandate_id cannot be used with reference_id.
reference_id is a combination of multiple tokens available at the gateway. Learn more about the combination of each gateway from this document.
An identifier of mandates which is an authorization given by the payer (usually a customer or account holder) to allow a third party such as a merchant or service provider to initiate payments from their account.
Note:
mandate_id is an alternative for reference_id and cannot be used with reference_id.
By default, the value is false and payment method details will be retrieved from the selected payment gateway using reference_id or payment_method_token / customer_profile_token / network_transaction_id / mandate_id. Learn more about the multiple token combinations of each gateway from this document.
Enter the value as true for the payment gateways that do not allow to retrieve the payment method details. Once passed, it will create payment method at Chargebee with the provided attributes in payment_method_token, customer_profile_token, network_transaction_id, mandate_id, card, and billing_address.
Note:
Currently, the skip_retrieval value as true is only supported for the Vantiv payment gateway.

For Direct Debit, the customer needs to accept a mandate that allows the merchant to debit their bank account. This agreement PDF can be obtained using the Retrieve direct debit agreement PDF API.
If the customer has already reached the payment source limit allowed for the site, pass replace_primary_payment_source as true. Alternatively, delete one of the payment sources first and then add the bank account payment source for the customer.
Note:
chargebee-request-origin-ip) and the device information(chargebee-request-origin-device).Merchants look to update card details when:
Multiple parameters such as address, expiry date, month, and so on, can be updated through this API.
Meta data can also be added additionally(supported in Stripe only). Metadata is a JSON object. It is used to store additional information about customers.
In Stripe and Braintree payment gateways, changes in card details are auto-updated. This feature can also be used for other payment gateways in which auto-update is not enabled or is not supported by Chargebee.
Note : This endpoint supports Chargebee Test Gateway, Stripe , Braintree , Authorize.net , Worldpay US eCom , and WorldPay Direct Integration . For all other gateways, your customers must re-enter the full card details to update existing card details. For example, consider a customer not using the gateways mentioned above and wants to update the card[billing_addr1] parameter. In such a case, the customer must re-enter the value of all the parameters present in the card object.
This API is used to update the payment source details of a customer. Information related to bank account payment source such as email, first name, and last name can be updated.
The API is only supported for the payment_method of type direct_debit.
This API can be used to verify bank accounts which have been added as payment source. This is applicable for Stripe ACH with micro-deposit mode bank accounts only. Stripe handles verification in two ways - via Plaid, and micro-deposit.
For verifying bank accounts via micro-deposit, Stripe deposits two small amounts to the bank account being added. These deposits will take 1-2 business days to appear on the customer's bank statement. The bank statement description for the two micro-deposits contains the amount and the values deposited. Your customer will need to relay the value of the two deposits to you, after which you can verify the bank account. Once the bank account has been verified, the payment source will be marked as "Valid".
A maximum of 10 failed verification attempts are allowed. Once this limit has been crossed, the bank account can no longer be verified, and will be marked as "Invalid" in Chargebee.
Retrieves the payment source identified by the unique identifier.
Lists all the payment sources
Switches the gateway in which this payment source information is stored.
This is applicable only if the payment source is present in Spreedly vault.
This operation does not support switching between Braintree and Stripe. If you need help using this API, contact support@chargebee.com.
Copies this payment source information to the gateway specified in the API.
This is useful if you want to port your customer's card details into another gateway.
This operation does not support copying of cards from Stripe and Braintree gateways. If you need help using this API, contact support@chargebee.com.
Deletes a payment source. Once the payment source is deleted, if
The other payment source available, but not assigned to any subscription, will become the Primary payment source.
Note: When multiple payment sources exist, the payment method added most recently will be considered.
If other payment sources available are assigned to subscriptions, the auto collection attribute for the customer will be set to Off, and the events card_deleted and payment_source_deleted will be triggered.
If there is no such payment source present in the gateway for the customer, this API will return successfully without throwing any error.
Note :
If you delete the only available payment method of a customer in Chargebee, it also deletes the customer's record at the gateway. To delete the payment method locally(delete only in Chargebee), use Local Delete a Payment Source API .
Delete a payment source reference from a Chargebee customer without deleting or altering payment source data stored at the payment gateway.
Payment Source
Sets deleted = true on the specified payment_source and detaches it from the customer. The payment source is no longer accessible through the API or the UI.
Customer
If the deleted payment_source is the customer's only payment method and auto_collection is on, automatic payment collection for future invoices fails.
If the deleted payment source was the primary payment method for the customer, and a backup exists, Chargebee promotes the backup to primary.
If no backup is set but other payment_source objects exist for the customer, Chargebee promotes one of them to primary.
Subscription
When you delete a payment source linked to an active subscription, Chargebee immediately clears the payment_source_id on that subscription. Future charges use the customer's primary_payment_source_id.
