      Overview of the Token Transfer

      What is a Token Transfer?
      A token transfer is the secure process of migrating existing card tokens from one payment provider to another. This ensures that your customers do not have to re-enter their payment details when you switch providers or consolidate payment platforms.

      Key Steps

      1. Request Tokens from Current Provider
        • Work with your existing payment provider to securely export or transmit token data.
      2. Securely Transfer Data
        • The token files are encrypted and transferred to the new provider.
      3. Import into the New System
        • The new provider loads and maps the tokens to the correct customer accounts.
      4. Validate & Test
        • Test sample transactions to ensure all tokens work properly before going live.
