# Create a Proxy

A Proxy defines the outbound connection Firstoken uses to detokenize card data and transmit it to a third-party destination on your behalf. Your systems pass tokens; the Proxy handles the sensitive payload.

#### Steps

1. Log in to the Firstoken Console.
2. Navigate to **Proxy** and click **+ New Proxy**.
3. Complete the following fields:

| Field           | Required | Description                                                                                |
| --------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Name            | Yes      | Identifies the proxy.                                                                      |
| Description     | No       | Optional context for the proxy.                                                            |
| Destination URL | Yes      | The third-party endpoint where detokenized data will be transmitted.                       |
| Method          | Yes      | HTTP method for the outbound request: `POST`, `PATCH`, `GET`, `PUT`, or `DELETE`.          |
| Headers         | No       | Additional headers required by the destination endpoint. Provide a key and value for each. |

4. Click **Create**. A modal displays the **Proxy URL** and **Proxy ID** required for your integration.

> **Note:** The Proxy URL and Proxy ID are available again at any time by editing the Proxy.
