Add a Card to a Profile

POST /customervault/v1/profiles/profile_id/cards

See our full API documentation for a complete description of the parameters required for the card creation request.

The Customer Vault API allows you to store multiple credit cards against your customer's profile. For billing purposes, each credit card can be associated with a different address, or all credit cards can be associated with the same billing address, depending on your business needs.

To add a credit card to a profile and associate it with the address you just created, you must use the profile ID (716adb4f-6b85-4089-ba9c-d9c0eb649cd7 in the previous example) and make a POST request to the cards endpoint of the relevant profile. The POST body contains the card information and a billingAddressId parameter containing the address ID you want to associate the card with (81ffcddf-ad82-40d2-aaa0-c4f9c376ad65 in the previous example).
