Stored credentials

For Shift4 gateway, sending stored credential fields can be done using Spreedly’s first class support. Sending stored credential data is simple. For any Authorize, Purchase, or Verify request, you need to include these fields which tell Spreedly a little bit more about the nature of the transaction:

  • stored_credential_initiator
  • stored_credential_reason_type

Learn more about how Spreedly enables seamless use of stored credentials by reviewing our Stored Credentials Guide.
