Customers and stored cards

Prerequisites

Have the tool to collect card information implemented.

Customers and cards allow you to securely store your customers’ card information to enhance their shopping experience.

This allows your customers to complete their purchases much faster, since they will not have to re-enter their card information again.

Customers represent, as the name implies, your customer. The cards you store will be for this specific customer.

Create a customer and a card

To create a Customer and a Card simultaneously it is necessary to submit, at least, the email and token fields.

The token is captured during the collection of card information.

Note

We recommend storing the card data after a payment has been successfully made, in order to make sure that they are correct.

<?php  
 
  MercadoPago\SDK::setAccessToken("ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN");

  $customer = new MercadoPago\Customer();
  $customer->email = "test@test.com";
  $customer->save();

  $card = new MercadoPago\Card();
  $card->token = "9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda";
  $card->customer_id = $customer->id();
  $card->save();

?>

import com.mercadopago.*;
MercadoPago.SDK.configure("ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN");

Customer customer = new Customer();
customer.setEmail("euna@gmail.com");
customer.save();

Card card = new Card();
card.setToken("9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda");
card.setCustomerId(customer.getId());
card.save();

var mercadopago = require('mercadopago');
mercadopago.configure({
    access_token: 'ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN'
});

customer_data = { "email": "test@test.com" }

mercadopago.customers.create(customer_data).then(function (customer) {

  card_data = {
    "token": "9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda",
    "customer": customer.id
  }

  mercadopago.cards.create(card_data).then(function (card) {

  }).catch(function (error) {
   // Do Stuff...
  });

}).catch(function (error) {
 // Do Stuff...
});

require 'mercadopago'
MercadoPago::SDK.configure(ACCESS_TOKEN: ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN)

customer = MercadoPago::Customer.new()
customer.email = "test@test.com"
customer.save

card = MercadoPago::Card.new()
card.token = "9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda"
card.customer_id = customer.id
card.save

MercadoPago.SDK.SetAccessToken = "ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN";

  Customer customer = new Customer()
    {
      Email = "test@test.com"
    };
    customer.Save();

  Card card = new Card()
    {
      Token = "9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda",
      CustomerId = customer.Id
    };

      card.Save();

Expected response:

{
    "id": "123456789-jxOV430go9fx2e",
    "email": "test@test.com",
    ...
    "default_card": "1490022319978",
    "default_address": null,
    "cards": [{
        "id": "1490022319978",
        "expiration_month": 12,
        "expiration_year": 2020,
        "first_six_digits": "415231",
        "last_four_digits": "0001",
        ...
    }],
    "addresses": [],
    "live_mode": false
}

Receive a payment from a Customer

In order to receive a payment using a stored card, it is necessary to re-capture the security code because for security reasons, Mercado Pago cannot store this information.

1. Show stored cards

List the stored cards to allow your customer to select which one to use.

You can get the complete list of Cards of a customer by making an HTTP GET request:

<?php
  $customer = MercadoPago\Customer::find_by_id($customer_id);
  $cards = $customer->cards();
?>

Customer customer = Customer.load(customerId)
  ArrayList<Cards> cards = customer.getCards();

var filters = {
    id: customer_id
  };

  mercadopago.searchCustomer({
    qs: filters
  }).then(function (customer) {
    // customer.cards ...
  }).catch(function (error) {
    // Do Stuff...
  });

customer = MercadoPago::Customer.load(customer_id);
  cards = customer.cards;

customer = Customer.FindById("customer.Id");
List<Card> cards = customer.Cards;

Response:

[{
    "id": "1490022319978",
    "expiration_month": 12,
    "expiration_year": 2020,
    "first_six_digits": "415231",
    "last_four_digits": "0001",
    ...
}]

With this response we recommend making a form:

<li>
    <label>Payment Method:</label>
    <select id="cardId" name="cardId" data-checkout='cardId'>
    <?php foreach ($cards["response"] as $card) { ?>
        <option value="<?php echo $card["id"]; ?>"
            first_six_digits="<?php echo $card["first_six_digits"]; ?>"
            security_code_length="<?php echo $card["security_code"]["length"]; ?>">
                <?php echo $card["payment_method"]["name"]; ?> ended in <?php echo $card["last_four_digits"]; ?>
        </option>
    <?php } ?>
    </select>
</li>
<li id="cvv">
    <label for="cvv">Security code:</label>
    <input type="text" id="cvv" data-checkout="securityCode" placeholder="123" />
</li>

2. Get the security code

The process is similar to the collection of card information. You must create a card token by sending the $form with the cardId and the securityCode:

doSubmit = false;
addEvent(document.querySelector('#pay'),'submit', doPay);
function doPay(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    if(!doSubmit){
        var $form = document.querySelector('#pay');

        Mercadopago.createToken($form, sdkResponseHandler); // The function "sdkResponseHandler" is defined below

        return false;
    }
};

The createToken method will return a card_token (the secure representation of the card):

{
    "id": "ff8080814cbd77a8014cc",
    ...
}

3. Create a payment

As soon as you get the token described in the previous step, you can generate the payment for the corresponding amount.

Since it is a payment with a stored card, you must send the customer id together with the token.

<?php  

  require ('mercadopago.php');
  MercadoPago\SDK::configure(['ACCESS_TOKEN' => 'ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN']);

  $payment = new MercadoPago\Payment();

  $payment->transaction_amount = 100;
  $payment->token = "ff8080814c11e237014c1ff593b57b4d";
  $payment->payer = array(
        "type" => "customer",
        "id" => "123456789-jxOV430go9fx2e"
    );

  $payment->save();

?>

import com.mercadopago.*;
MercadoPago.SDK.configure("ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN");

Payer payer = new Payer();
payer.type = "customer";
payer.id = "123456789-jxOV430go9fx2e";

Payment payment = new Payment();
payment.setTransactionAmount(100);
payment.setToken('ff8080814c11e237014c1ff593b57b4d');
payment.setPayer(payer);

payment.save();

var mercadopago = require('mercadopago');
mercadopago.configurations.setAccessToken(config.access_token);

var payment_data = {
  transaction_amount: 100,
  token: 'ff8080814c11e237014c1ff593b57b4d'
  payer: {
    type: "customer"
    id: "123456789-jxOV430go9fx2e"
  }
};

mercadopago.payment.create(payment_data).then(function (data) {
  // Do Stuff...
}).catch(function (error) {
  // Do Stuff...
});

require 'mercadopago'
MercadoPago::SDK.configure(ACCESS_TOKEN: ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN)

payment = MercadoPago::Payment.new()
payment.transaction_amount = 100
payment.token = 'ff8080814c11e237014c1ff593b57b4d'
payment.payer = {
  type: "customer"
  id: "123456789-jxOV430go9fx2e"
}

payment.save()

That's all, the response will indicate the payment status (approved, rejected or in_process).

See more information about response handling.

Add new cards to a Customer

It is possible to add new cards to a Customer. To do this, you must create a token and make an HTTP POST request to the Customer.

<?php  

  MercadoPago\SDK::setAccessToken("ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN");

  $customer = MercadoPago\Customer::load("247711297-jxOV430go9fx2e");

  $card = new MercadoPago\Card();
  $card->token = "9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda";
  $card->customerId = $customer->getId;
  $card->save();

  print_r($card);

?>

import com.mercadopago.*;
MercadoPago.SDK.configure("ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN");

Customer customer = Customer.load("247711297-jxOV430go9fx2e")

Card card = new Card();
card.setToken("9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda");
card.setCustomerId(customer.getID());
card.save();

System.out.print(card.toString());

var mercadopago = require('mercadopago');
mercadopago.configure({
    access_token: 'ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN'
});

var filters = {
  id: "247711297-jxOV430go9fx2e"
};

mercadopago.searchCustomer({
  qs: filters
}).then(function (customer) {
  card_data = {
    "token": "9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda",
    "customer": customer.id
  }

  mercadopago.cards.create(card_data).then(function (card) {
    console.log(card);
  }).catch(function (error) {
   // Do Stuff...
  });
}).catch(function (error) {
  // Do Stuff...
});

require 'mercadopago'
MercadoPago::SDK.configure(ACCESS_TOKEN: ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN)

customer = MercadoPago::Customer.load("247711297-jxOV430go9fx2e")

card = MercadoPago::Card.new()
card.token = "9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda"
card.customer_id = customer.id
card.save

puts card

Search a Customer

In case you do not know your Customer’s id, you can use the Customer Search API by making an HTTP GET request. The required parameter for this is email:

<?php

  $filters = array(
    "id"=>"247711297-jxOV430go9fx2e"
  );

  $customers = MercadoPago\Customer::search($filters);

?>

Map<String, String> filters = new HashMap<>();
  filters.put("email", "test@test.com");

  ArrayList<Customer> customers = MercadoPago\Customer::search(filters).resources();

var filters = {
    email: "test@test.com"
  };

  mercadopago.searchCustomer({
    qs: filters
  }).then(function (customer) {
    // customer.cards ...
  }).catch(function (error) {
    // Do Stuff...
  });

customers = MercadoPago::Customer.search(email: "test@test.com");
