Generally, you use a device fingerprint for the first transaction with a card. Openpay **requires** a new device fingerprint to be created with every transaction (included by default with the Nexio iframe), while it is **strongly recommended** for Kount. For information about device fingerprinting requirements, see the gateway-specific information for the [Connections](doc:connections) you use.
