Authorization Tokens
How Authorization Tokens works in Paycux, what it is for, and the smallest setup that gets it running.
Overview
Authorization Tokens is part of the Paycux platform. This page explains what it does, when to reach for it, and the smallest working setup you can ship.
Everything below applies to both environments. Build and test in staging, then promote the same configuration to production without changing your code — only the API key and client ID differ.
How it works
How it works is handled by Authorization Tokens rather than by your application code. Paycux exposes it through the same API surface as the rest of the platform, so the client you already configured needs no additional setup.
Configuration lives in the dashboard and is versioned per environment. Change it in staging, confirm the behaviour, then apply the same change to production.

Next steps
With this working, the usual next moves are to wire the profile into your own user table, verify the flow in production, and turn on audit logging so customer security reviews have something to read.
