Full API reference

Introduction

Shift4 API is a REST-based API that allows fast and easy integration. We use HTTP for transport and return all responses encoded as JSON.

To simplify integration and testing, each account has two modes: test mode and live mode. Each mode has its own set of public and secret keys. We guarantee that test-mode data never reach real customers and never costs you money.

API ENDPOINT


https://api.shift4.com

Authentication

Shift4 API uses "HTTP Basic authentication" for authentication. All requests to our API must be authenticated, and all requests have to be made over HTTPS.

To authenticate, you need to provide your "API Secret Key" as a username and leave the password blank. Once logged in, you can find your API keys in your account settings. It's critical to keep your "API Secret Key" secure because it allows others to perform privileged operations on your behalf.

EXAMPLE REQUEST


curl https://api.shift4.com/charges \
	-u pr_test_tXHm9qV9qV9bjIRHcQr9PLPa:

Note: adding colon after API key will prevent curl from asking for password

Errors

Shift4 API uses HTTP codes to indicate the outcome of an API call. Codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error on your end (something is wrong with your request), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error on our end.

If request fails an error object is returned instead of a normal response.

HTTP Status codes


200 OK - Successful request
400 Bad Request - Request has invalid data or is missing a required field
401 Unauthorized - Provided API key is missing or invalid
402 Payment failed - Request was valid but card processing has failed
404 Not Found - Requested object was not found
429 Too Many Requests - Requests hit the API too quickly			
500, 502, 503, 504 Server error - Something went wrong on our side

Tokens

Tokens are used to represent a card in a situation where you don't want to process or store card-sensitive data on your servers. Tokens can be easily created directly in a browser with the use of Components, but you can also create tokens in other environments (for example, in mobile applications).

Tokens can be created with the use of either "API Public Key" or "API Secret Key". You can safely embed your "API Public Key" in JavaScript or in downloadable applications (like iPhone or Android apps), so you can easily create tokens directly from these applications.

Note that tokens are meant to be used as a temporary representation of card data, and each token can be used only once. You should not store tokens for long periods of time - if you want to store a card for later use you should use the token to either create new customer or add new card to the existing customer.

Initialize 3D Secure process

Initialize a new 3D Secure authentication process.

Generally (apart from a few specialized use cases) it is not recommended to initialize 3D Secure from the API. You should use our Components or checkout integration that already supports 3D Secure authentication.

To complete the 3D Secure process initiated using this API call, you must:

Ensure that the card supports 3D Secure by checking that enrolled filed in response is equal to true
Redirect the user to redirectUrl or display that URL in an <iframe> tag.
Wait for the user to return to returnUrl
Use token to create a charge

Arguments

amount integer, required

Amount used in the 3D Secure process (in minor units of a given currency). Must match amount that will be used later to create a charge. For exampl, 10€ is represented as "1000" and 10¥ is represented as "10".

currency string, required

Currency used in the 3D Secure process (represented as a three-letter ISO currency code). Must match currency that will be used later to create a charge.

returnUrl string, required

URL that will be displayed to the user after the 3D Secure process is completed. Following parameters are appended to this URL:

token (string) - identifier of a token that was used for this 3D Secure process
liabilityShift (string) - can be one of the following: successful or failed

card card token, card details or card identifier, required

Can be one of the following:

card token (for example, obtained from Components)
card details (the same as in card create request)
card identifier (must be an existing card that is associated with a customer)

Result

A successful request returns an object with the following attributes:

enrolled boolean

Whether the card used to start this 3D Secure process supports 3D Secure.

version string

Version of 3D Secure which will be used for this 3D Secure process.

redirectUrl string

URL that must be used to complete the 3D Secure process by the user. User must be either redirected to this URL or this URL must be displayed to the user in an <iframe> tag.

token token object

Token that is being used for this 3D Secure process. This token must be used to create charge after this 3D Secure process is completed.

Checkout Request

Checkout Request is used to define an action that will be executed after the customer has provided his card data in Checkout.

Checkout Request can define either a single charge or an automatically recurring subscription. If you already have customer object that represents your customer, you can include its identifier in Checkout Request so that the created charge or subscription will be automatically assigned to that customer. If the identifier of an existing customer is not provided in Checkout Request then a new customer object will be automatically created.

Creating Checkout Request can be done offline (without the need to communicate with Shift4 servers). All you need to do is to sign the Checkout Request object with your secret key - see signing a Checkout Request.

Checkout Request object

Arguments

charge object, optional (either charge, subscription or customCharge is required)

Defines charge that will be created by Checkout. Can contain the following attributes:

amount (integer, required) - Charge amount in minor units of a given currency
currency (string, required) - Charge currency represented as a three-letter ISO currency code
capture (boolean, optional, default is true) - Information whether this charge should be immediately captured
metadata (metadata object, optional)

For more information about the meaning of these attributes, see charge create request.

subscription object, optional (either charge, subscription or customCharge is required)

Defines the subscription that will be created by Checkout. Can contain the following attributes:

planId (string, required) - Identifier of a plan that will be assigned to this subscription
captureCharges (boolean, optional, default is true) - Whatever charges created by this subscription will be immediately captured
metadata (metadata object, optional)

For more information about the meaning of these attributes see subscription create request.

customCharge object, optional (either charge, subscription or customCharge is required)

Defines the charge with the custom amount that will be selected by the customer in Checkout. Can contain the following attributes:

amountOptions (list of integers, either amountOptions or customAmount is required) - List of predefined amounts (in minor units of a given currency) that the customer can choose from.
customAmount (object, either amountOptions or customAmount is required) - Object with min and max attributes that defines a valid range for the custom amount that is provided by the customer.
currency (string, required) - Charge currency represented as a three-letter ISO currency code
capture (boolean, optional, default is true) - Information whether this charge should be immediately captured
metadata (metadata object, optional)

Providing amountOptions attribute will cause Checkout to have buttons with predefined amounts from which the customer will be able to choose. Providing customAmount attribute will cause Checkout to have the input field where the customer can type any amount (but that amount must be within specified min/max range). Providing both of these attributes at the same time will cause Checkout to have both options - buttons with predefined amounts and the input field to provide any custom amount.

customerId string, optional

Identifier of the existing customer that will be used to create a charge or a subscription.

rememberMe boolean, optional, default is false

"Remember-me" option possible to be preselected in Checkout.

termsAndConditionsUrl string, optional

URL to your terms and conditions page. If provided, the additional page will be shown in Checkout before the payment page. On that page the customer will have to accept your terms and conditions. Additionally, if Checkout Request creates a subscription, then information about a recurring payment is also shown on that page.

Signing a Checkout Request

Checkout Request signature is created using HMAC with SHA256 using Checkout Request JSON and your secret key. A signed Checkout Request is created by concatenating the signature, pipe character (|), and Checkout Request JSON and then encoding it with BASE64.

The complete formula for signing Checkout Request:

$signed_checkout_request = base64( hmac_sha256( $checkout_request, $private_key ) + "|" + $checkout_request )

EXAMPLE SIGNING


export checkout_request='{"charge":{"amount":499,"currency":"USD"}}'
export signature=`echo -n "$checkout_request" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac 'pr_test_tXHm9qV9qV9bjIRHcQr9PLPa' | sed 's/^.* //'`
echo -n "$signature|$checkout_request" | base64
