Create Customer and Charge Authorization

with Paystack · Customer Data Management

Onboard a customer, capture an authorization, then charge it again.

  1. Create the customer profile that will own the captured authorization.
  2. Initialize the customer's first transaction to collect a card payment.
  3. Verify the first transaction to retrieve the reusable authorization code.
  4. Charge the captured authorization for the subsequent amount without the customer re-entering their card details.
