Bolt’s tokenizer can be used for direct payment processing, when also paired with the authorization endpoint.

Bolt offers its tokenizer as both an API and a public package on NPM. These instructions will walk you through using the NPM package. To use the API, please see the API documentation.

Tokenizer NPM Package

Tokenization is handled in a separate service from Bolt Checkout and is PCI compliant. See the Authorization endpoint’s request body schema for more information.

Requirements

All of the following must be provided when using Bolt’s Tokenizer:

• A valid credit card number from a supported card network.
• A valid CVV

How to use the Tokenizer

1. Install Bolt’s npm package and import the package:

import TkClient from "@boltpay/tokenizer";

2. Create a new instance of the TkClient object:

const tkClient = new TkClient(env, async (url, request) => fetchFunc(url, request));

3. Call the postToken method with the credit card information:

const cardToken = tkClient.postToken(credit_card); // this function can be retried

4. Authorize using the v1/merchant/transactions/authorize endpoint found here.

Objects & Values

credit_card is the javascript object {cc: credit card number, cvv: cvv}

postToken returns the javascript object {token, expiry, last4, bin, network}

Sample Code

import TkClient from "@boltpay/tokenizer";

const tkClient = new TkClient("sandbox", async (url, request) => fetch(url, request));
const cardToken = tkClient.postToken({cc: "4111111111111111", cvv: "000"});
