A payment method token is a string representing sensitive payment method credentials and customer data. Primer provides Universal Checkout, our all-in-one Checkout SDK, to securely capture payment method data while fully embedded on your site or in your app. By communicating directly with Primer’s PCI-L1 tokenization service, Universal Checkout transforms sensitive customer data into a secure uniform string called a payment method token. Universal Checkout generates a payment method token regardless of the customer’s chosen payment method. This enables you to reason about your checkout flow in a unified way.Documentation Index
