Charging a card

You can charge a card in 2 ways. Once you have generated a card token using simplify.js, you can charge the card using the token. Alternatively, you can also charge a card by passing the card details.

For more information on the simplify.js go to Payments Form

import simplify

simplify.public_key = "YOUR_PUBLIC_API_KEY"
simplify.private_key = "YOUR_PRIVATE_API_KEY"

payment = simplify.Payment.create({
        "token" : "f21da65e-f0ab-45cb-b8e6-40b493c3671f",
        "amount" : "1000",
