### 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.

### How to Store Tokens with BigCommerce

1. Proceed to **checkout**

2. Select **Paystand** and **Choose Payment Method**

3. **Choose a payment method** and fill in the required information

4. Enter **billing details**

5. Click **Pay**

The method you used will be stored as a token.

6. **Fees and incentives** are reflected in the Payment Method Fee

Important

- The payment method used at checkout is stored automatically as
a token once the transaction completes.

- Stored methods appear for reuse during future checkouts for the
same logged-in customer.

### Using a Stored Token for Checkout

1. Begin checkout and **Choose Payment Method** under the Paystand option

2. You’ll see a list of your **saved tokens**. Select one to complete the transaction.

### Storing Additional Payment Methods

1. Through the Paystand modal, **add a ne** w payment method.

2. Check the **Save This Payment Method** box, then complete the purchase.

Tips

- Encourage customers to save payment methods for faster future checkouts and to reduce manual entry errors.
