Create a Loyalty Card on-the-Fly
Process to Create a Loyalty Card
You can also create a new virtual secucard on-the-fly. It is a card that works like any other, but has no physical representation yet.
You can load the card, or collect bonus balance for the same order. If the card group allows for negative balance, you can even use it for the first payment.
In order to create the loyalty card, you must:
Create a Smart Transaction with a special item instead of an existing card.
Authorize and capture the payment.
It makes sense for your shop system to manage the cards for registered users.
The card group needs to be activated for card creation via STX. If you don't know whether it is active, or you need help to find the card group, please ask our friendly help desk. Please have the name of the card group ready.
Create the Smart Transaction
We prepare a Smart Transaction for a known customer. Instead of an existing card, you would pass a card creation request together with the card group ID in the idents parameter.

You then needed to add a special card loading article in the basket (s. Load the Loyalty Card with Cash Balance).
If everthing is fine, the API responds with 200 OK, and the representation of the Smart Transaction:

Capture the Payment
You would carry out the payment as described in the integration guide for payment. We assume this is already implemented.
The last step is always a call to /start:
POST /api/v2/Smart/Transactions/STX_27V90VC9K2X06V7GD5NYYWYHKHT3AZ/start HTTP/1.1Host: connect-testing.secupay-ag.deAuthenticate: Bearer qb56tjj1bcvo9n2nj4u38k84loAccept: application/jsonAt this time, the card will be created. If the card is loaded or already used the needed Loyalty Transactions will be created too.
If everthing is fine, the API responds with 200 OK, and the representation of the Smart Transaction:

The first revenues are tracked, and a bonus balance of €5.90 was already granted.
We recommend to save the card number to the login account of your customer. If there is no such account, or if you have created and loaded a gift card, you would send the card number to the buyer.
