Use cases

The main Samsung Pay use cases for card issuers are both related to customers enrolling a card to their Samsung Wallet:

  • Push provisioning: The issuer app or website provisions a customer card to Samsung Wallet. This is the issuer-initiated card enrollment scenario where the customer uses a card issuer app or website to enroll their card.
  • Identity verification (ID&V): The issuer verifies the customer's identity during card enrollment. This is the Samsung Wallet-initiated card enrollment scenario where the customer uses the Samsung Wallet app to enroll their card. If the card issuer requires ID&V for the card to be enrolled, the Samsung Wallet app redirects the customer to an app or website for app-to-app or app-to-web ID&V during the enrollment process.

When push provisioning is used:

  1. The issuer app or website creates the provisioning data (customer card and device information) based on the token service provider’s (TSP) requirements, and sends the data to Samsung Wallet.
  2. Samsung Wallet requests token provisioning from the TSP.
  3. The TSP generates a token that represents the card, and returns the token for storage in Samsung Wallet.
  4. Samsung Wallet notifies the card issuer app or website of the provisioning status.
