Check out the Forage Authentication guide for complete instructions on how to authenticate with Forage.

The Forage API offers two different types of bearer tokens to validate requests: authentication tokens and session tokens.

Authentication tokens validate sensitive requests from your backend server, like to create Payment Capture Sessions, Orders, and Refunds .

Session tokens verify requests from the front-end, including requests forwarded from Forage SDK methods.
