Tokenization
Securely tokenize card data in Bamboo for one-time or recurring payments. Learn about token types, hosted forms, direct API flows, and network tokens.
Tokenization is the process of replacing sensitive card information with secure tokens, which can be safely stored and reused in future transactions. This allows merchants to process payments without directly handling card data, reducing PCI scope and improving security.
Bamboo supports multiple tokenization flows depending on the use case and merchant compliance level:
Temporary token used for a single transaction.
Expires after 10 minutes.
Token linked to a customer profile.
Used for future purchases or subscriptions
Hosted JavaScript form to capture card data securely.
Ideal for merchants not PCI-certified.
Tokenization through backend API.
Requires PCI compliance.
Tokens issued by card schemes.
Enhances security and enables lifecycle management.
