Seamless Transactions Through Tokenization and Vaulting

Understanding Tokenization

Card Tokenization, in essence, is the process of replacing actual customer payment details with distinct tokens. These tokens are equipped with specific identification codes symbolizing the client's payment information, thereby ensuring an enhanced level of security in the transaction process.

The Market For Tokenization

The global tokenization market is set to experience a compound annual growth rate of 18.4%, culminating in a market valuation of $5.2 billion (USD) by the period's end. This growth can be attributed to:

• Escalating popularity of alternative payment systems
• Unprecedented tokenization adoption by the retail and eCommerce sectors
• Urgent demand for payment and data safety in the era of digital transformation

Tokenization's global appeal has witnessed a significant surge in recent times. From 2020 to 2027, the worldwide tokenization market is set to experience substantial growth; a projected $6.8 Bn according to Business Wire.

Navigating Tokenization & Vaulting

Within the payment sphere, tokenization entails substituting real customer payment details with distinct tokens. Coupled with effective vaulting, which securely stores these details, the success of tokenization hinges on ensuring that customer payment

information is both current and precise. This two-pronged approach guarantees enhanced security and a seamless transaction experience.

Understanding Vaulting

When it comes to storing sensitive payment information, a payment vault is the gold standard. These secure digital repositories offer enhanced protection for customer payment data, effectively reducing the potential risks associated with data breaches. By leveraging vaulting solutions, merchants can ensure that they are not only compliant with necessary regulations but are also providing a secure transaction environment for their customers.

Vaulting Essentials

• Storing customer payment details ideally requires using a payment vault
• Such vaults provide relief to you from the complexities of PCI compliance
• Employing a standalone vault solution offers the liberty to incorporate any necessary payment service or gateway
• Gateway-specific vaults can curtail your ability to engage other payment providers

How Payments Orchestration Enables Tokenization

For maximizing the benefits of tokenization, an all-encompassing solution is required. Payment orchestration offers a comprehensive framework that streamlines and enhances the tokenization process. Through orchestration, businesses can efficiently integrate various payment systems and manage tokenized data more effectively.

Payments Amalgamation

Payment orchestration should not bind merchants and aggregators to specific vendors. By choosing vendor-agnostic orchestration, businesses gain the flexibility to select from a wider array of payment services. This ensures that they are not confined to the offerings of a single provider but can tailor their payment strategies based on diverse and evolving needs. It also means businesses aren't tethered to a single provider's method of tokenization or vaulting approach. Instead, they can seamlessly integrate and adapt to a diverse array of services, ensuring the most secure and efficient handling of sensitive payment data.

Universal Vault Access

Agnostic orchestration lets you save payment data in a universal vault, accessible via virtually any secure payment service integration. Say you want to start transacting with a different gateway as a test. Instead of moving all of your cards, you can instead access the Spreedly vault and transact with 20 percent of them.

Simple Account Updating

Maintaining the tokens' relevance becomes effortless on your part, especially with automated updating tools. As quoted from the article Solutions Stack: Keep Customers Transacting:

“Maintaining accurate and contemporary card data ensures smooth transactions and customer satisfaction. However, stored cards often expire or are canceled, jeopardizing your transaction capabilities with stored cards.”

For many merchants and merchant aggregators, who rely on recurring payments there is a direct revenue impact on ensuring customer payment information is up-to-date. This requires a system to be in place that regularly updates and refreshes a customer’s payment information so when it comes time to charge their card the odds of an approved transaction are considerably increased.

Embrace an Agnostic Approach

A Payments Orchestration platform, including features like Network Tokenization and Account Updater, bolsters a flexible payment strategy. Leveraging an agnostic approach means businesses can move beyond traditional confines and choose a blend of payment services that align with their specific needs. This versatility fosters innovation and efficiency, ensuring that companies remain agile in the face of an ever-changing payment ecosystem.

Leverage a Global Payment        Environment

With orchestration, a truly global payment environment is one designed for modern merchants and aggregators. It provides access to any number of distinct payment services through a single API. This streamlined integration ensures that businesses can easily tap into a vast network of payment types, fraud tools, and gateways, making transactions smoother.
