Wallets API

❔

What is a wallet session?

A wallet session consists of a session-id and session-key. It is used for authenticating requests from a WLW consumer (not API-to-API).

❔

What is a CUID?

CUID = Claimed User ID

It is an unverified identifier. It is used when initiating a transaction to indicate who the consumer is.

❔

What happens when a wallet is deleted?

All payment methods and SDKs are deleted. An event is sent to the WSP (see page for WSP events for more information about this event).

❔

What is sub ?

It's a unique id for a consumer/wallet. This id is unique for every WSP, meaning the same consumer will not have the same sub when signing up with another WSP. If a consumer signs up again (with the same WSP), after deleting their wallet, the consumer will have the same sub.

❔

What is the loyaltyId ?

It is an identifier provided by the WSP. WLW does not use it for user authentication. WLW does not do any verification on whether any consumer has the same loyaltyId.

❔

What is the lifetime of a paymentInstrumentId?

The paymentInstrumentId is the same for the lifetime of a payment method within a specific wallet. Meaning, if it's deleted and added again, it will receive a new paymentInstrumentId. Also if the same payment method is onboarded to another wallet it will have another paymentInstrumentId in that wallet.
