Payment Token
A Payment Token in online donations is a secure, unique identifier that represents sensitive payment information, such as a credit card number, without storing the actual data. Payment tokens are commonly used to protect donor information by replacing sensitive details with a randomly generated string (= the token) of characters. This token can then be used to process payments instead of the real data. Soulclick utilizes payment tokens to handle online donations and safely manage recurring donations without needing donors to re-enter sensitive information. Since payment tokens require a secure infrastructure, they incur processing fees.
