How can I save my shoppers' credit cards in Bluesnap?

I'm integrating bluesnap's payment API with my website. How do I store the card information in bluesnap so that I don't have to do it in my own database?

Solution

If you are using the Payment API, you can save credit card data at the shopper level. To do this, you create a saved shopper in BlueSnap and include the card data for that shopper. You can also include information like the shopper's name and address.

For example:

<vaulted-shopper xmlns="http://ws.plimus.com">
   <first-name>FirstName</first-name>
   <last-name>LastName</last-name>
   <payment-sources>
      <credit-card-info>
         <credit-card>
            <card-number>4263982640269299</card-number>
            <security-code>837</security-code>
            <expiration-month>02</expiration-month>
            <expiration-year>2018</expiration-year>
         </credit-card>
         <billing-contact-info>
            <first-name>billingFirstName</first-name>
            <last-name>billingLastName</last-name>
            <country>US</country>
            <state>MA</state>
            <address1>10 Main St</address1>
            <address2>Apt 1</address2>
            <email>email@example.com</email>
            <zip>01752</zip>
         </billing-contact-info>
      </credit-card-info>
   </payment-sources>
</vaulted-shopper>
