createVaultingSession
The createVaultingSession API is used to create a vaulting session for client-side SDK integration. Through this API response, Alipay returns encrypted session data. You use the session data to initiate the client-side SDK. The SDK helps you complete the card vaulting process before a payment is initiated.
