Tokenization

Xplor Pay tokenizes and secures your customers’ sensitive card data using a randomly generated code and stores the token in a secure vault. This token supports:

• future purchases

• card-on-file payments and

• recurring transactions

Integrating with Xplor Pay tokenization removes Payment Card Industry (PCI) DSS scope from your software and reduces Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliances scope for merchants.

Types of tokens

Xplor Pay offers the following types of card tokens:

Single-Use card token - Mobile JSON Web Token (mobilejwt)

Use a single-use token (mobilejwt) for one-time transactions. The token becomes invalid after the transaction is processed and can't be used for recurring transactions, refunds, or returns.

For details about using single-use card tokens (mobilejwt), see the JavaScript SDK and Hosted Payments documentation.

Multi-Use or Durable card token (token-id or id)

Use a multi-use token (token-id or id) for multiple online or in-person transactions. This token supports card-on-file payments and membership renewals. Durable tokens enable repeated transactions, speed up the checkout process, and reduce cart abandonment.

Reversible or Irreversible card token

Use a reversible token to retrieve customer information, such as the primary account number (PAN). You may need to submit the PAN to a third-party payment handler for fraud recovery. An irreversible token helps you avoid potential liability associated with storing customer information.
