Verify a payment method

Sends an authorization request to the corresponding payment gateway to verify the payment method, even though no changes are made for the payment method. Supported payment methods are Credit Cards and Paypal.

Zuora now supports performing a standalone zero dollar verification or one dollar authorization for credit cards. It also supports a billing agreement status check on PayPal payment methods.

If a payment method is created by Hosted Payment Pages and is not assigned to any billing account, the payment method cannot be verified through this operation.

Request
path Parameters
payment-method-id
required
string

The ID of the payment method to be verified.

header Parameters
Accept-Encoding
string

Include the Accept-Encoding: gzip header to compress responses as a gzipped file. It can significantly reduce the bandwidth required for a response.

If specified, Zuora automatically compresses responses that contain over 1000 bytes of data, and the response contains a Content-Encoding header with the compression algorithm so that your client can decompress it.

Content-Encoding
string

Include the Content-Encoding: gzip header to compress a request. With this header specified, you should upload a gzipped file for the request payload instead of sending the JSON payload.

Zuora-Track-Id
string <= 64 characters

A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you set a value for this header, Zuora returns the same value in the response headers. This header enables you to associate your system process identifiers with Zuora API calls, to assist with troubleshooting in the event of an issue.

The value of this field must use the US-ASCII character set and must not include any of the following characters: colon (:), semicolon (;), double quote ("), and quote (').

Request Body schema: application/json
required
currencyCode
string

The currency used for payment method authorization.

object

The field used to pass gateway-specific parameters and parameter values. The fields supported by gateways vary. For more information, see the Overview topic of each gateway integration in Zuora Knowledge Center.

Zuora sends all the information that you specified to the gateway. If you specify any unsupported gateway option parameters, they will be ignored without error prompts.

paymentGatewayName
string

The name of the payment gateway instance. If no value is specified for this field, the default payment gateway of the customer account will be used.

securityCode
string

The CVV or CVV2 security code for the credit card or debit card. To ensure PCI compliance, the value of this field is not stored and cannot be queried.
