# Create single use token

`POST /processing-terminals/{processingTerminalId}/single-use-tokens`

Use this method to create a single-use token that represents a customer’s payment details.  

A single-use token expires after 30 minutes and merchants can use them only once.  

**Note:** To create a reusable permanent token, go to [Create Secure Token](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/tokenization/secure-tokens/create).  

In the request, send the customer’s payment details. If the request is successful, our gateway returns a token that you can use in a follow-on action, for example, [run a sale](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/card-payments/payments/create).
