Saved Payment Methods is a phrase used to describe having a payment method stored so that users do not have to re-enter their information upon checkout. It can also be used for automated billing and invoicing. A saved payment method could include a credit card, debit card, PayPal account, or bank account. The supported payment methods depend on your merchant settings and the features that CivicPlus has integrated.
Important Note
CivicPlus does not store any cardholder data.
Tokenization
During the Payments checkout process, when a user goes to enter their card information, they enter this information directly into fields or a page hosted by the payment gateway. The gateway then returns a token to CivicPlus Payments that can be used to charge the user in the future.
