Payment Tokenization – Paystand Help Center
Requirements for Saving & Reusing Payment Methods
Important considerations
- Only logged-in customers can save or reuse payment methods.
- Guest checkout does not support token storage — guests must register or log in to save a payment method.
Token Storage
Tips
Paystand securely manages tokenized payment data — your BigCommerce store never handles raw card or bank details.
Tokens are linked to the payer’s Paystand ID, ensuring a consistent experience across future checkouts.
Token Retrieval
On future checkouts, previously saved payment methods become available automatically.
The purchaser can choose from their saved payment methods without re-entering sensitive payment details.
