Tokenization
Tokenization is a process to convert card number and expiry date into a unique alphanumeric string (eg. 1a2e41235sdwesdfgb125
) called token. This token represents the buyer's card details, so that you do not have to handle the real credit card information. This reduces your PCI-DSS Scope and enhances security.
Tokenization happens on the front-end such as browser or mobile app. When tokenizing, public API key is used. GetzPay offers single-use or multiple-use toknes, based on your business needs.
Single Use Token | Multiple Use Token |
---|---|
Valid for only one transaction | Valid for multiple transactions |
Token is unusable after one transaction is completed | Once the card details have been tokenized once, this do not repeated for future charges |
Expires in 30 days (if transaction is not completed), or when the card expires | Expires when the card expires |
