Create or Update Browser Payment Token
Request the gateway to create or update a token that references a source of funds stored with a payment provider such as PayPal.
Use this operation to initiate a browser interaction, in which the payer authorizes you to make subsequent payments against their account. For PayPal, the token wraps a PayPal Billing Agreement. Like all gateway tokens, you can:
use them for subsequent payments (PayPal calls these reference transactions)
have a token repository that includes a mix of tokenized cards, tokenized PayPal and other tokenized accounts
update a token with a different account - for example, your payer moves from PayPal to/from card as their preferred payment method, then you can retain the same token.
Tyro will configure your token repository for you (see How to Configure Tokenization for details). This will determine:
If you can supply the token yourself, or if the gateway will generate one for you.
If you can update a token with a different account.
The form of the token that the gateway will generate. The generated token id is a random number. It begins with a '9' (so that is does not create a valid card number) and passes a Luhn (Mod-10) check.
When the same account is retokenized, whether the gateway return the same token or a new token.

Information about the payment type selected by the payer for this payment and the source of the funds.
Depending on the payment type the source of the funds can be a debit or credit card, bank account, or account with a browser payment provider (such as PayPal).
For card payments the source of funds information may be represented by combining one or more of the following: explicitly provided card details, a session identifier which the gateway will use to look up the card details and/or a card token. Precedence rules will be applied in that explicitly provided card details will override session card details which will override card token details. Each of these may represent partial card details, however the combination must result in a full and complete set of card details. See Using Multiple Sources of Card Details for examples.
Information about the source of funds when it is directly provided (as opposed to via a token or session).
For browser payments, the source of funds details are usually collected from the payer on the payment provider's website and provided to you when you retrieve the transaction details (for a successful transaction). However, for some payment types (such as giropay), you must collect the information from the payer and supply it here.
Information about the payer's PayPal account.
It is provided to you when the payer successfully makes a payment using PayPal or when you have established a billing agreement with the payer.
