Payments via credit card

Suggest Edits

Asaas accepts a variety of card brands easily and without a monthly fee. You can make sales in cash, in installments, and recurrently.

Creating a payment by credit card

There are two steps you can follow; one is to create a credit card type payment and redirect the user to the invoice screen to make the payment.

{
      "customer": "cus_000005219613",
      "billingType": "CREDIT_CARD",
      "value": 109.90,
      "dueDate": "2023-07-21"
}

When creating a payment with credit card payment, you redirect the customer to the invoice URL (invoiceUrl) so they can enter their card details through Asaas's interface.

Is it possible to generate a payment that accepts a debit card?

Sending card details through the API is not possible for debit cards.

However, you can send the customer to the invoiceUrl as described above. If the billingType is CREDIT_CARD or UNDEFINED, the debit card option will be enabled on the invoice.

Creating a payment with a credit card and pay it in the same action

The second step is to send the credit card details at the time of creating the payment, allowing for the payment to be processed immediately upon payment creation.

To do this, simply send the credit card details along with the holder's information through the creditCard and creditCardHolderInfo objects when making the payment creation request. It's important that the holder's information exactly matches that registered with the card's issuing bank; otherwise, the transaction may be denied due to suspected fraud.

If the transaction is authorized, the payment will be created, and the API will return HTTP 200. Otherwise, the payment will not be persisted, and HTTP 400 will be returned.

If you are in Sandbox, you can use test credit card numbers.

      "creditCard": {
        "holderName": "marcelo h almeida",

      },

      },
      "remoteIp": "116.213.42.532"
}

Credit card tokenization

After the first transaction for the customer with a credit card, the API response will return the attribute creditCardToken.

With this information, in subsequent transactions, the creditCardToken attribute can replace the creditCard and creditCardHolderInfo objects and be directly informed at the root of the request, thus not requiring the objects to be informed again.

{
      "customer": "cus_000005219613",
      "billingType": "CREDIT_CARD",
      "value": 100.00,
      "dueDate": "2023-07-21",
      "creditCardToken": "76496073-536f-4835-80db-c45d00f33695",
      "remoteIp": "116.213.42.532"
}

You can also create a token at any time. Having the customer's data, just send it to the tokenization endpoint, and you will receive the creditCardToken.

{
      "customer": "cus_000005219613",
      "creditCard": {
        "holderName": "marcelo h almeida",
        "number": "5162306219378829",
        "expiryMonth": "05",
        "expiryYear": "2024",
        "ccv": "318"
      },
      "creditCardHolderInfo": {
        "name": "Marcelo Henrique Almeida",
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "cpfCnpj": "24971563792",
        "postalCode": "89223-005",
        "addressNumber": "277",
        "addressComplement": null,
        "phone": "4738010919",
        "mobilePhone": "47998781877"
      },
      "remoteIp": "116.213.42.532"
}

The API will return to you the last 4 digits of the card creditCardNumber and the card brand creditCardBrand (in case you want to display it on the screen, for example), in addition to the creditCardToken.

This functionality is useful if you develop a "Save payment data" feature in your application.
