The PayTrace API (Application Programming Interface) is a powerful software solution that enables any software developer to integrate the power of the PayTrace Payment Gateway into their proprietary software. Software developers may use the PayTrace API to add payment-processing functionality into their software through the seamless integration of HTTPS Post requests.
Through the power and efficiency of the PayTrace API, your software applications may process electronic payments in real-time and receive payment authorizations within 3 to 6 seconds. The PayTrace API is built to process transactions and recurring payments, store customer and transaction profiles and email receipts.
The PayTrace API uses HTTPS post with Requests and Responses. This API does NOT need to be installed or registered on a web server or on a client's computer which is running the software application. Integrating with the PayTrace API is quick and easy with our 5-star Support.
JSON API is designed as a REST API (Representational State Transfer). It has predictable responses and dedicated URLs for each method. This API utilizes OAuth 2.0 for authentication and authorization. It has HTTP verbs and HTTP response codes to provide the integrators and developers the fastest and most secure methods to integrate with our platform. JSON will be returned in all responses from the API, including errors with PayTrace defined error codes.
All API requests are made to https://api.paytrace.com and all requests are served over HTTPS using TLS 1.2.
The current version of the JSON API is v1.
Here are the steps you will need to follow to start integrating with the PayTrace API.
| 1 | In order to obtain your integrator_id and begin testing your integration, you will need to sign up for a Sandbox Account. To request a sandbox account, fill out the Sandbox Request Form located here: Sandbox Request Form Once completed, your integrator_id and sandbox credentials will be provided to you within 1 business day. |
| 2 | After receiving your sandbox credentials, you will need to configure your account to match your anticipated production account. In order to do so, you will need to login to PayTrace and select the Security Settings tab under the Account Tab. For more information regarding PayTrace’s Security Settings please see the Account Security settings here. |
| 3 | Refer to our API integration documentation provided in this knowledge base to learn about the integration with different methods of our API. |
| 4 | Send an authentication request with your user credentials to generate an access token. |
| 5 | Prepare the request using an access token and Test data. Submit the request to one of the API methods. |
| 6 | For API errors, Check out the PayTrace Virtual Terminal → integration → API log. Look at the API Log for more details.  |
| 7 | Once you are done with your testing phase, you can go live by requesting an active account from the preferred PayTrace Reseller. |
| 8 | To go live, you must have a PayTrace Professional account with the API Module enabled. The aforementioned user credentials can be used in the PayTrace Virtual Terminal to create a PayTrace API user account to use with the API. Please Note: PayTrace uses the API user credentials instead of an API key for Authentication. |
| 9 | Once your integration is complete, we recommend that your users use their API User Account credentials with your integration. |
| 10 | Don't forget to take a look at the PayTrace Virtual Terminal→Account→Security settings(as shown in step 2 above) to configure the additional mandatory parameters for your individual live account. After configuring any additional parameters in the Security Settings, you must also send those additional parameters to avoid API errors. Please look at your Account Security Settings for the API. |
Please Note: If you do not see the Account → Security Settings option in the PayTrace Virtual Terminal, please contact your Account Administrator to enable this Account option in the Virtual Terminal.

The PayTrace JSON API requires authentication and authorization in order to make all of the requests. The PayTrace JSON API uses OAuth 2.0 for Authentication and Authorization.
OAuth 2.0 provides a "password" grant type that can be used to exchange a username and password for an access token directly. If you decide not to use any of the 3rd party OAuth 2. 0 libraries, the following steps are needed :
Post |  /oauth/token |
| Header | Value |
|---|---|
| Accept | */* |
| HTTP Protocol | HTTP/1.1 |
| Content-Type | application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8 |
| Attribute | Description | Type | Attribute Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| username | PayTrace API Username | string | Required |
| password | Password for PayTrace API | string | Required |
| grant_type | The grant type for this flow is password | string | Required |
A successful request returns an HTTP status code in the 2XX range with a JSON body.
| Attribute | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| access_token | The access token issued by PayTrace. The access token will expire (see expires_in), after which you will have to request a new access token. | string |
| token_type | The type of the token issued. | string |
| expires_in | The lifetime in seconds of the access token. | number |
| created_at | Token creation time in Epoch time format. | number |
The error responses will include an HTTP status code and JSON body. In general, code 4XX and 5XX ranges indicate some failure for an authentication token request.
Specific JSON error responses will be returned to provide authentication error details. Here is the Authentication error Response attributes detail. Check out API Errors for HTTP status codes.
| Attribute | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| error | A unique identifier for an error. Please refer to Authentication Errors Summary to find all values. | string |
| error_description | An error message providing details about the error. Please refer to Authentication Errors Summary to find all values. | string |
| errors | error_description |
|---|---|
| invalid_grant | The provided authorization grant is invalid, expired, revoked, does not match the redirection URI used in the authorization request, or was issued to another client. |
| invalid_token | Depending upon the token value, the appropriate error message will be returned. -The access token was revoked. -The access token expired. -The access token is invalid. |
| unsupported_grant_type | The authorization grant type is not supported by the authorization server. |
| invalid_resource_owner | The provided resource owner credentials are not valid, or resource owner cannot be found. |
| invalid_request | The request is missing a required parameter, includes an unsupported parameter value, or is otherwise malformed. |
| invalid_client | Client authentication failed due to an unknown client, no client authentication included, or unsupported authentication method. |
| access_denied | The resource owner or authorization server denied the request. |
| invalid_scope | The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed. |
| server_error | The authorization server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. |
| temporarily_unavailable | The authorization server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. |
For example, If you pass incorrect API user credentials, you will get an error Response with the appropriate error and error description with an HTTP status code 401-unauthorized.
Once you get the Authentication token, you can submit the token_type and access_token as values in the Authorization Header of your API request.
Authentication format is Bearer access_token
grant_type=password&username=YourUserName&password=YourPassword
The following response will be returned with HTTP Status code 200 OK
{
"access_token":"4656d6f6132333:4656d6f6132333:2b607b9a44720c9c3ca867653c7e6ef8b3f3802709c17f2a54402820d155f214",
"token_type":"bearer",
"expires_in":7200,
"created_at":1489710779
}The following error Response will be returned when sending incorrect user credentials with HTTP status code 401-Unauthorized.

An approved transaction does not guarantee that the customer who provided the billing information is truly the card holder. Preventing fraud is paramount in the payment processing industry for multiple reasons, primarily minimizing merchant exposure to chargeback and strengthening customer confidence in electronic payments.
Depending on your style of business and potential for chargeback exposure, PayTrace encourages you to validate each transaction’s fraud indicators, in addition to approval response, to verify if a transaction is legitimate and should be settled.
AVS (Address Verification System) and CSC (Card Security Code) Responses are excellent indicators to verify that your customer is the true card holder. Therefore, it is recommended to validate the AVS and CSC Responses against the following potential responses to determine if the appropriate fraud prevention features have been met before settling a transaction.
Here are the possible values for avs_response and csc_response Parameters.
PayTrace API will return a standard HTTP status code and JSON error response when any error occurs.
In general, HTTP codes in the 2XX range indicate success, codes in the 4XX range indicate an error that failed with the provided information (e.g. a required parameter was omitted,invalid value of request parameters, a charge failed, etc.), or card/transaction is declined. Codes in the 5XX range indicate an error with PayTrace servers.
With API error response, you will need to check success and response_code Parameters. Then you will need to check for the error codes. Check out API Response code and API Error Codes for all possible values.
Error response will be returned with following scenarios.
With this scenario, transaction does not succeed due to processing networks errors or if card is declined due to any other reasons.
In that case, checking a HTTP status code, success and response_code parameters would be recommended. You will need to check the avs_response and csc_response to avoid any credit card related fraud.
Please check out API Response code and AVS and CSC response for possible values.
There will be few additional parameters in the JSON response based on the request. Sample Error response of declined (unsuccessful) transaction is provided with each individual API methods.
With this scenario, transaction fails due to invalid parameters values/names, required parameters not provided, duplicate values etc. In that case, Additional errors object will be returned with respective error codes and error messages. Please refer the Sample Error Response.
Check out API Error Codes to get possible error codes and associated error messages.
Any invalid input parameters will return an error. For Example, If you send an invalid Credit Card number and expiration Month i.e. any numbers other than 1 to 12.
Here is a list of HTTP status code with PayTrace API.
| Http Status code | Reason |
|---|---|
| 200-OK | Request worked as expected. |
| 400-Bad Request | Any invalid Request parameters/values, Required parameters are missing or a declined transaction. |
| 401-Unauthorized | When access token is invalid or expired. |
| 500-Internal server errors | Error with PayTrace servers. |

The PayTrace Encryption Library supports client-side encryption of sensitive data, reduces merchant's and integrator's exposure to PCI-compliance verification. Sensitive data can be encrypted at the user's web browser using The PayTrace JavaScript Encryption Library. The encrypted data can only be decrypted by PayTrace. The merchant or the integrator has no access to the original sensitive data.
The sensitive data is encrypted before the web form is submitted and until it is received at PayTrace's secure server. The RSA public/private key pair is used to encrypt sensitive credit card data. The public key corresponds to your PayTrace account and it will be used to encrypt the sensitive data. Only PayTrace can decrypt the encrypted data with the private key.
The following steps are required to utilize The PayTrace Client-Side Encryption Library in a web form.
A public key, as described above, must be completed before moving forward.
Please refer to the code section Sample →
The encrypted value of the field will be submitted to your server using the name attribute of the input element.
You can access the encrypted values using the name attribute on the server. Please refer to the code section sample
(Please provide the appropriate URL of 'YourPublicKeyFile.pem' if it is on different server.)
You will need to validate your form with your own implementation first and then submit the valid form. As long as you set the key before a valid form is submitted, it should work. Please refer the code section sample →
Once you have received the encrypted values, you will then submit them using an API Request. In order to prompt the API to accept the encrypted values, you will need to prepend encrypted_ to the Number and CSC parameters within the request.
For example, the credit card number will be encrypted_number, the CSC will be encrypted_csc and the swipe will be encrypted_swipe to send the encrypted values to the API.
Please refer to the Keyed Sale request using the encrypted_number and the encrypted_csc in the code section.

}In today’s world, security and PCI compliance play important roles in protecting cardholders and delivering cash flow for businesses.
Protect.js uses an iframe to create PayTrace hosted fields when collecting sensitive-payment information. This allows you to control the UI and UX of your checkout process so that cardholder data never touches your servers.
You can quickly start accepting secure payments and storing cardholders’ payment information by embedding a few lines of code within your existing checkout flow. While achieving the highest level of PCI-Compliance, SAQ-A.
Protect.js places PayTrace Hosted Payment fields, within an iframe, on your webform. This will allow your customers to enter their sensitive credit card information directly into PayTrace while ensuring your server does not handle any sensitive data. Once this information has been captured, Protect.js will then return a one time use hpf_token (nonce) and enc_key. The nonce and enc_key can then be submitted via an API request in order to process transactions or create customer profiles.
The following steps are required to utilize The PayTrace Protect.js Library in a web form.
Please refer to the code section Sample →
This step allows the PTPayment object to become available when the Protect library script is sourced in the web application. See available PTPayment methods below:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| process | Validates and tokenizes Hosted Payment Field Data |
| setup | Initializes the Protect.js Hosted Payment Fields within iframe using the clientkey in step 3. Styling options can be statically applied during the setup call. For more information regarding our styling options, see Styling Options. |
| validate | Validates Hosted Payment Field input prior to tokenizing data. Takes function as an arguement. See example 5.1 |
| reset | Clears Hosted Payment Fields and resets Protect.js to its beginning state. |
Make OAuth authorization call to the JSON API to get an API AUTH TOKEN. This token will be used as the authorization bearer access token to authorize the application to use PayTrace's API. The token should be kept secret and should never be added to client side code. This token is valid for 2 hours.
See Authentication for a reference on how to generate an Oauth Token.
Using the API AUTH TOKEN from step two as the authorization header, make a JSON API POST request to: https://api.paytrace.com/v1/payment_fields/token/create to get a PROTECT AUTH TOKEN (clientKey).
The clientkey will be used to authorize the application to use Protect.js. This key is valid for 20 minutes.

By this point, you should be able to see the Protect.js iframe rendered on your webpage. See example below:
To improve the look and feel of Protect.js, styling options can be statically applied during the setup call. For more information regarding our Styling option, see Protect.js Styling.
The process method will tokenize the sensitive data in the payment fields. The method returns a http promise that will either be fulfilled (resolved) or rejected. If it is rejected, the possible reasons are: network error, internal error, or the fields did not pass validation.
PTPayment.validate will validate the payment fields and allow you to re-prompt your customers to enter valid information.
Dynamic styling can then be used to better control your customer experience when invalid input is entered. For more information regarding our Styling options, see Styling Options.
For a list of potential validation errors, see Validation Error Responses below.
Please refer to the code section for Sample→
The tokenization process also validates the sensitive data payment fields
Dynamic styling can then be used within the error handling to better control your customer experience when invalid input is entered. For more information regarding our Styling options, see Styling Options.
For a list of potential validation errors, see Validation Error Responses below.
Please refer to the code section for Sample→
If for any reason the users input fails the Protect.js validation, the appropriate Response code will be returned in the error response.

| 35 | Please provide a valid Credit Card Number. | The Credit card Number was invalid or not provided. |
| 43 | Please provide a valid Expiration Month. | The expiration Month was invalid or not provided. |
| 44 | Please provide a valid Expiration Year. | The expiration Year was invalid or not provided. |
| 148 | Please provide a valid CSC. Must be 3 to 4 digits. | The CSC/CVV value was invalid. |
| 400 | Varies based on validation error | In the case that an error occurs in which a general use case is not covered, this response code will be thrown with a description indicating the field that it detected a problem with. |
Once you have received the hpf_token (nonce) and enc_key, you will then submit these values using an API Request and the Oauth token from Step 2. API methods that are meant to be used with the Protect.js UI are listed within their appropriate request categories and begin with the keyword Protect.

The following PTPayment methods can be used to style the Project.js Payment fields during runtime. To utilize these methods, you will need to implement them within the .then method once the promise has resolved.
Please refer to the code section for examples of dynamic Styling
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| style | Allows you to modify any of the input field styling options. |
| theme | Allows you to adjust where the labels are displayed around the payment field input boxes. Available Options: 'above the line', 'horizontal', 'below the line', 'label-extended-top'(New) or 'label-none'(New) The default theme is 'above the line' if a theme is not defined. Labels will be right justified against the input fields with the 'horizontal' theme. The 'label-extended-top' theme places the security code on its own line below the expiration date. The 'label-none' theme removes the labels completely and only displays the input boxes. NOTE: May require you to adjust the size of the div container via CSS. |
| getControl | Allows you to customize the label text for the input fields The default labels are CC Number, Expiration and Security Code if custom labels are not defined. The control types are: securityCode, creditCard, expiration. |

}An EMV fallback transaction occurs when a customer attempts to use an EMV (chip) card, at an EMV chip terminal, but the chip is unable to be read due to technical issues. The Terminal will then “fall back” to the magnetic strip technology in order to continue the transaction as a swiped transaction.
When the card reader experiences a Technical issue, it will provide a value in place of the normal EMV chip data. When the API receives this value, it will respond with one of the following API error Codes which indicate how to proceed with the transaction.
| Type | Description | Error code | Error Message |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Chip | The card has no chip and can only be swiped. Note: No Error code or message provided | - | - |
| Technical | The chip is damaged or cannot be read. This will prompt your customer to reattempt the chip read. | 300 | Invalid Chip Read. Please reinsert the card. |
| Technical | The chip is damaged or cannot be read and must be swiped. Note: Only prompts after 3 unsuccessful chip reads | 301 | Invalid Chip attempts exceeded. Please re-attempt the swipe. |
| Empty Candidate | The EMV terminal does not have applications in common with the EMV card and must be swiped. | 302 | Empty Candidate. Please attempt to swipe. |
| Technical | The Card reader failed to read the chip. This will prompt your customer to reattempt the chip read. | 303 | Card reader error. Please reinsert card. |
After receiving a response from the PayTrace API that indicates a Fallback has been triggered, the customer should be prompted to proceed according to the API error message received within the response. The new value provided by the chip reader should then be sent within the emv_data field and resubmitted using the same EMV API request method used for the original attempt.
The following emv_data values will prompt the API to respond with the appropriate EMV Fallback responses. In order to complete the transaction, use the appropriate Fallback Swipe emv_data values after the fallback response has been provided.
| Type | Description | emv_data Value |
|---|---|---|
| Technical | Prompts to retry inserting the chip due to a technical error | DFEF6102F220 |
| Technical | Prompts to swipe the card due to too many failed chip insert attempts | DFEF6102F222 |
| Empty Candidate | Prompts to swipe the card due to empty candidate card read | DFEF6102F221 |

}As per the VISA, MasterCard and Discover Card brand enhancement mandates, a Refund Authorization or "Purchase Return Authorization" enables a card issuer to authorize and validate a refund for a cardholder, as well as identify if the account doesn't exist or has been closed. At this time this feature is only available for Visa, MasterCard and Discover transactions however, we anticipate this feature will be added for the other card brands in the future. Updates will be made as other Card Brands begin supporting this feature.
Encrypted values by the PayTrace Client-Side Encryption JavaScript Library can be used with Refund requests.
A Keyed Refund Authorization can be performed when the card is NOT present.
This method can be used to issue a credit back to the credit card holder's account.

}Level 3 data is additional information that may be applied to enrich a transaction’s reporting value to both the merchants and the customers. Generally, merchant service providers offer reduced or qualified pricing for transactions that are processed with Level 3 data.
Level 3 data can be added to any approved and unsettled Sale transaction with Visa or MasterCard. Some level 3 data, specifically enhanced data such as Invoice and Customer Reference ID, may overlap with data provided with the base transaction. Enhanced data, when applied, will always overwrite such data that may already be stored with the transaction.
Level 3 data consists of enhanced data and 1 or more line item records. This information is intended to describe the details of the transaction and the products or services rendered. However, defaults may be applied in the event when some data is missing or unknown. Skipped parameters will be replaced with PayTrace defaults.
Please make sure to set Level 3 defaults with your PayTrace Virtual Terminal Account before moving forward to add level 3 data methods.
Level 2 and 3 data is additional information that can be sent through with your transactions that can help qualify (keep processing rates low) certain types of credit cards. Level 2 and 3 data typically can help when accepting Business Cards, Purchasing Cards, Corporate Cards, or Government (GSA) Cards.
In most cases when you accept these types of cards, the dollar amount of the transaction is larger than if you were to accept a consumer/personal credit card. When the dollar amounts of the transactions go up, the risk associated with the card brands funding them goes up. This results in a higher processing rate due to the higher risk. However, level 2 and 3 data helps provide additional information about the merchant, customer, and transaction to help meet the card brand's criteria for reaching a lower processing rate. This additional information is not required to process or get funded for your transactions. However, providing this information helps reduce the risk associated with the funding of the transactions by the card brands, which results in lower processing rates.
For more information about specific level 2 and 3 information, click here
This method can be used to add Level 3 data to any approved and unsettled sale transaction with MasterCard.
You can add single or multiple line items as needed.
