Tokenization is the process of breaking a stream of text/numbers up into words, phrases, symbols, or other meaningful elements called tokens. This token can then be used in place of a credit card number when processing a transaction. This is useful when a developer does not want to take responsibility for the security requirements of storing card data.
This command validates the card data and then returns a card reference token. The card reference token can be used in the card number field in most scenarios. Tokens only store the card number and the expiration date. Tokens are not related to a specific merchant and can be used across multiple merchants. Credit card numbers will not be retrievable after initial tokenization.
Note: If it is desired to use an External ID with the Card, it must be associated to the Card when the Card is created.
