ClickPay provides you with a collection of API endpoints which used to process all payments, regardless of if they are through either your own payment pages, the managed payment pages, or if you are using the hosted payment pages.


In this article, we will walk you through how to make a payment page using the Saved Card Token (requiring CVV) to not force your customers to provide the card details again except for the CVV. You will be introduced to the required parameters that need to be passed to initiate the request.


We highly recommend you to check our Step 3.3 Token Based Transactions | Create and Manage Token to get the best out of this article, since this article is showing how to use the token.
