How You Enable Credit Card Tokenization

Credit card tokenization is the process of replacing sensitive data with a unique surrogate number, or token, that isn't considered sensitive. The process uses services of a third-party token service provider that stores the sensitive information and generates tokens to replace sensitive data

Note: Before you can import credit cards into Expenses, you must enable encryption or tokenization of credit cards in Payments.

To enable credit card tokenization, you perform steps in the following setup pages:

  • Manage System Security Options page

  • Create Payment System page
