Gateway Tokenisation allows you to store payment details in exchange for a token. The token replaces the payment details in the transaction request sent to the gateway. This is useful as the gateway handles the payment details collected from the payer thereby reducing your PCI compliance obligations. Further, if the token is stored with the payer data, it may be used when the payer returns to make another purchase.
A token is an identifier of stored payment details; returned when you tokenize them. The token may be used for all subsequent payment transactions to refer to the previously saved payment details.
Tokens are in PAN format and will pass simple card validation rules, so that they can be stored in place of credit card numbers. However, their generation is designed to minimize the likelihood that they will be valid card numbers.
Your payment services provider can configure the Tokenisation service associated with your merchant profile for the following parameters:
Defines how the payment details are verified prior to being stored. Values can be:
| Basic | Validates that the payment details provided conform to the gateway rules for processing a payment with these payment details. |
| Acquirer |
Verifies the payment details by performing a Direct API Verify request, to verify the provided payment details with the acquirer.
When you store a token, you must provide a currency. The transaction source will default to the value configured for the merchant-acquirer link. The
For device payment transactions using DPAN, if the merchant is configured with the token verification strategy as Acquirer, then the token verification strategy automatically falls back to Basic for processing that specific transaction.
Enforce CSC setting for this transaction source will be ignored. |
| None | No verification is performed. |
Defines how tokens within the repository are managed. Values can be:
| Unique Token | Assigns a unique token every time you save an account identifier. This can be defined as a one-to-many relationship between an account identifier and tokens. |
| Unique Account Identifier | An account identifier can only be stored against a single token. If an attempt is made to store it against another token, it will result in an error. This can be defined as a one-to-one relationship between the account identifier and the token. |
Defines the strategy used to generate a token within this repository. Values can be:
| Random with Luhn | The generated token id is a random number. It begins with a '9', passes a Luhn (Mod-10) check, and excludes known card numbers. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Preserve 6.4 | Attempts to preserve the first 6 and last 4 digits, and is not a valid card number. Token properties:
You cannot update the card number for a preserve 6.4 token; however, you may update the expiry date.
|
||||||||||||||||||||
| Merchant-Supplied | The token is supplied by the merchant. Any merchant-supplied token is validated to not be a valid card number. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Acquirer Tokenization | The token ID is supplied by the acquirer tokenization service. This service only allows for storing the FPAN in a token. The following prerequisites must be met to allow acquirer tokenization:

You can perform the following operations using the Gateway Tokenisation solution:
You can use this operation to create or update a token by storing payment details against the token. The token will be stored in the token repository as configured on your merchant profile.
You can also use this operation to create or update a token by providing the reference order ID of a previous successful order, which can be up to 12 months old in the gateway. You are provided with a gateway token against the payment credentials used in the referenced order. The token is stored in the token repository as configured on your merchant profile.
The payment details will be verified using the verification method provided in the verificationStrategy field. If you do not provide this field, the default strategy configured on your merchant profile will be used.
If the verification is successful, the payment details are saved against a token for later reference and used in subsequent payment transactions. You may choose to retry a Tokenize operation if the first attempt does not return a response.
The token is issued based on the token management method configured for the token repository used by your merchant profile.
You may want to update details (e.g. the expiry date of a card) on a stored token using the Tokenize operation, but leave other details unchanged. The token you supply in the request URL identifies the token you wish to update. Supplying this same token as a source of payment details will cause your previously stored details to be reused. This means you do not need to recapture the payment details. By providing the new expiry date in the Card Details section of the request, the value will override the expiry date already stored in the token (see Precedence Rules).
The following example request shows how to provide both card details and token sources in the Tokenize request:
| HTTP Method | PUT |
| URL | https://anzworldline.gateway.mastercard.com/api/rest/version/72/merchant/<merchant>/token/9999999999999999 |
| JSON |
{
"sourceOfFunds": {
"provided": {
"card": {
"expiry": {
"month": "01",
"year": "39"
},
"number": "5123456789012346"
}
},
"type": "CARD"
}
}
|
The above JSON assumes that a token with id "9999999999999999" was previously stored and contains a card number and expiry date.
The result of this operation will be that token "9999999999999999" now has an expiry date of 05/21, with the card number remaining unchanged.
Performs an Authorize for the specified amount using the payment details identified by the supplied token.
Performs a Pay for the specified amount using the payment details identified by the supplied token.
Allows you to retrieve the payment details saved against the specified token. The account identifier and other sensitive data are returned masked.
Finds token records that match a query. The query currently supports searching using a token identifier or an account identifier. Ensure that you encrypt the card number using JWE.js library.
If the query matches a large number of token records, you can limit the search results returned per page and retrieve the next set of results using subsequent requests.
If you are enabled for Account Updater on your merchant acquirer link(s), you can manually request for account update information on card details stored in a token. To do this, provide the following in the Tokenize request:
verificationStrategy=ACCOUNT_UPDATERtransaction.currencyNote that providing sourceOfFunds parameter group is optional.
The gateway will receive and process the response from the Account Updater Service similar to when the Token Maintenance Service is used. For information on what token updates include, invalid tokens, and retrieving token update information, see the sections under Token Maintenance Service.
When the gateway receives an Account Updater response from an acquirer, indicating that the card number has changed, the gateway cannot update the card details due to the token generation or maintenance strategy. Instead, the gateway creates a new token with the new Funding Primary Account Number (FPAN) and then links the new token to the old token using the replacementToken field.
This section explains different scenarios when the merchant must use the replacement token and delete the old token.
This table describes few scenarios where a replacement token is generated.

You can test your integration for gateway tokenization using your test merchant profile (your merchant ID prefixed with TEST) in Production.
The gateway creates two repositories, test and production, when you are enabled and configured for tokenization by your payment service provider. The test repository is your token repository ID prefixed with TEST.
When you submit tokenization requests to the gateway using your test merchant profile, the test token repository is used. To subsequently process a payment with a token, you must tokenize a supported test card number. For test card details, see Test and Go Live.
