Create secure token | Payroc

Use this method to create a secure token that represents a customer’s payment details.

When you create a secure token, you need to generate and provide a secureTokenId that you use to run follow-on actions:

Retrieve Secure Token – View the details of the secure token.
Delete Secure Token – Delete the secure token.
Update Secure Token – Update the details of the secure token.
Update Account Details – Update the secure token with the details from a single-use token.

Note: If you don’t generate a secureTokenId to identify the token, our gateway generates a unique identifier and returns it in the response.

If the request is successful, our gateway returns a token that the merchant can use in transactions instead of the customer’s sensitive payment details, for example, when they run a sale.
