Tokenization refers to the storage of a credit card for future payments. The credit card data is stored as tokens for both the customer and the merchant, which simplifies and speeds up the payment process.
Please note: Tokenization does not guarantee that the amount can actually be charged.
Merchants can use the token to execute a charge in the Payrexx backend.
Shoppers can save their credit card details in the shop for the next purchase.
Card data can be stored for an unlimited period.
Only the card number and expiration date are checked, not the credit limit.
In tokenized payments, the credit card number (PAN, Primary Account Number) is not transmitted during the transaction but is replaced by a token. This increases the security of the payment.
Tokenization with Payrexx can be set up via the API, gateway, or Payrexx tools.
You can find instructions for implementing tokenization as a payment method via API or gateway in our developer documentation.
After registering a payment provider that supports tokenization, the "Tokenization" payment method can easily be selected in the Payrexx Tools.
The following example shows how to activate tokenization in the Pages Tool:
For subscription payments using tokenization, it is necessary to manually charge the stored credit card data (token) after the desired subscription period.
For more information on using tokenization for subscriptions, refer to the following article.
