Travelsoft Pay — TSPay Virtual Card Issuing API

Version 1.0 | Confidential Partner Documentation

This document contains confidential and proprietary information of Travelsoft Pay and is provided solely for the purpose of evaluating or integrating with the TSPay platform.

What is the TSPay API?

The TSPay API enables authorised partners to programmatically create and manage virtual payment cards within the Travelsoft Pay issuing programme.

Travelsoft Pay acts as programme manager and provides a unified API layer that abstracts issuing processor connectivity, scheme interactions, funding orchestration, and card lifecycle controls while operating under regulated issuing partners.

This allows travel platforms and authorised partners to embed card issuance directly into their booking and supplier payment workflows without managing the underlying issuing infrastructure.

Key Features (Version 1.0)

Secure Authentication

Industry-standard JWT authentication with secure credential management.

Virtual Card Issuance

Programmatically create virtual cards with configurable spending limits, expiration windows, and usage controls.

Card Lifecycle Control

Manage card states and usage parameters programmatically to support automated supplier payments.

Metadata Support

Attach booking or transaction metadata to cards for reconciliation and operational tracking.

Architecture Overview

Partners integrate with the TSPay API as the single integration point. TSPay manages communication with the underlying issuing infrastructure and regulated issuing partners, returning provisioning results and card data through the API.
