Payments (2024-06-01)
Use a single API that orchestrates the payment flow to include FraudSight, 3DS and Token creation.
Authentication
Set your headers
Authorization: {your_credentials}    
Content-Type: application/json    
WP-Api-Version: 2024-06-01Replace {your_credentials} with your base64-encoded Basic Auth username and password.
DNS whitelisting
Whitelist the following URLs:
https://try.access.worldpay.com/https://access.worldpay.com/
Please ensure you use DNS whitelisting, not explicit IP whitelisting. When you make a request within Access Worldpay, you should always cache the response returned.
API collection
A full set of API examples based on different scenarios.
Add the sessionId provided in the postMessage for the device data collection form (web) or for native (iOS/Android), returned as consumerSessionId as part of SDK initialization. 
Note: If device data collection fails you can attempt the payment without this value, but you will see an increased number of challenged and even authenticationFailed outcomes, if this happens for a lot of requests.
