Tokenized Payment Instruments for Web Stores

Tokenized payment instruments increase payment security by substituting sensitive payment card data with a payment card token that doesn't include sensitive data.

After you set up tokenized payment instruments for your website, NetSuite creates a token the first time a customer uses their payment card to complete a transaction. SuiteCommerce uses the token for all future transactions using that payment card.

Important:

Enabling the NetSuite Payment Instruments feature changes your payment record structure and can't be undone. Tokens created before enabling the feature are inaccessible and can't be used. Contact your NetSuite account manager to determine if you are eligible for this feature.

After the Payment Instruments feature is enabled in your NetSuite account, you can set up tokenized payment instruments.

See Tokenization for additional information about tokenization.
