Network Token
Overview
The Network Token endpoint allows you to enroll stored Firstoken tokens in the card networks' tokenization programs (Visa Token Service and Mastercard Digital Enablement Service). Network tokens provide enhanced security and improved authorization rates by replacing traditional card credentials with network-generated tokens.
When a Firstoken permanent token is successfully enrolled, the platform automatically provisions network payment credentials internally. These credentials are then seamlessly used in subsequent payment transactions through the Payments API when available, with no additional implementation required from your side.
Key Features
Automatic provisioning: Network tokens are provisioned internally after successful enrollment
Seamless integration: No changes needed to existing payment flows
Enhanced security: Network tokens reduce fraud risk and improve payment security
Better authorization rates: Network tokens typically have higher approval rates
Use Cases
Enroll existing Firstoken tokens to benefit from network tokenization
Improve authorization rates for recurring payments
Enhance security for stored payment methods
Comply with card network recommendations for credential-on-file transactions
