Account Boarding API
Overview
The Cardknox Account Boarding API gives ISV partners the ability to board PayFac accounts directly through their system, rather than from the Partner Portal. Using the Account Boarding API, ISVs can build a form within their system for collecting all the necessary merchant data to onboard Cardknox Go accounts. Once the ISV submits the application via the API, it is passed along to Cardknox for instant approval.
This page outlines the configuration process for integrating with Cardknox’s Account Boarding API.
Visualize and interact with the API using Swagger UI. Please note that only sandbox keys may be used when submitting accounts and the Signature.Token
field is not required.
