“Partner access token” is used as authentication for all further communication with the Checkout 3.0 Backend API. This token should never be displayed to the user or sent to the frontend of the application.
To obtain the token send POST request with clientId and clientSecret as a JSON to /api/partner/tokens.
# Obtain Partner access token

Initialize payment and set up initial parameters such as: language; items list; etc. Please check the full list of options below.
Send a POST request with “Partner access token” as authorization with JSON data. Successful initialization returns a unique “Purchase JWT token” and “PurchaseId”. “Purchase JWT token” is used to display Checkout 3.0 form on the frontend of your application. “PurchaseId” is used in other Checkout 3.0 Backend API calls.
