Tokenisation is the process of turning a meaningful piece of data, such as a customer's credit/debit card, into a random string of characters called a "token" that has no meaningful value if breached. Tokens serve as reference to the original data, but cannot be used to guess the cardholder's information.

This provides security and protection of the cardholder's information as you will not know or have access to the cardholder's card details.

The tokenization system used by the Virtual Terminal is the Fiserv Gateway (IPG) tokenisation solution.
Cardholders' tokens are securely saved and maintained in the IPG data vault.

If you have the required permission to process a sale or preauthorisation using a customer's card on file, choose the "Payment token" tab from the payment options.

To process the payment, enter the token for your customer's card on file and click "Pay".
