Seamless Buyer Authentication: Vaulted Cards and Store Credit Support in Storefront API

Enhancing Buyer Checkout with Storefront API

The Storefront API now supports vaulted cards and store credit for authenticated buyers during the checkout process. This update improves the seamless payment experience for users accessing headless storefronts or mobile app flows.

How It Works

Authenticated buyers can leverage their stored payment methods, such as vaulted cards or store credit, within the checkout experience. To enable this feature, append the customerAccessToken to the Buyer Identity object in the Storefront API Cart.

Best Practices for Secure Checkout

• Always request the checkoutUrl when the buyer is ready to navigate to checkout.
• If necessary, re-request the checkoutUrl to ensure secure authentication.
• Follow security protocols to maintain user trust and protect sensitive data.

Why This Matters

These enhancements ensure buyers enjoy a smooth payment experience without compromising security. Streamlining access to vaulted cards and store credit provides convenience while maintaining robust privacy standards.
