Tokenization Offers Great Benefits: Be Aware of These 5 Pitfalls
Blog post from Basis Theory
Tokenization replaces sensitive payment data with randomized tokens, reducing breach exposure because stolen tokens cannot be reversed without access to a secured token vault and its authorization controls. Merchants can choose among network tokens, which are merchant-specific and issued by card networks; processor tokens, which reduce PCI-related storage burdens but can lock merchants into one payment service provider (PSP); and programmable vault tokens, which can represent PANs or network tokens and enable use across multiple PSPs. To obtain the full benefits of tokenization, merchants need programmable storage, payment orchestration across compatible PSP partners, maintenance processes for token authorization and customer data, and decisioning systems that manage declines and transaction retries. Properly implemented, tokenization can improve payment approval rates, lower processing costs, expand provider flexibility, and strengthen customer payment security.
