With Resapayments payment terminals, you can easily link a user's card to their profile so it can be used for future payments.
This helps you streamline payment management, reduce manual tasks and prevent potential errors when processing your users' payments.
Before you start
To tokenise cards, you first need a Resapayments payment terminal configured on your platform.
If you don't have one yet, you can request one from our Support team.
Once it has been configured, you can save your users' cards in two different ways.
Option 1: Add a card from the user's profile
You can link a card directly from the user's financial information.
To do this:
Go to the user's profile.
Click Edit.
Go to Financial information.
Select Add card with terminal.
Choose the Resapayments terminal you want to use.
Once you have selected the terminal, a €0 transaction will appear on the payment terminal.
The user simply needs to insert, swipe or tap their card on the terminal. No payment will be charged: this transaction is only used to identify the card and securely link it to their profile.
Once the process is complete, the card will be saved and can be used for future payments.
Option 2: Save the card when making a payment
You can also save the user's card while processing a payment.
To do this:
Go to the user's profile.
Open the Financial section.
Select the scheduled payment you want to process.
Select the option to make the payment.
Choose the Resapayments terminal as the payment method.
Enable Save card for future purchases.
Complete the payment using the terminal.
Once the transaction has been successfully completed, the card will be linked to the user's profile and can be used for future payments.
What are the benefits of tokenising a card?
Saving your users' cards with Resapayments allows you to:
Speed up future payments, without having to request the card for every transaction.
Reduce errors when managing payments manually.
Centralise payment information directly in the user's profile.
Provide a faster and more convenient payment experience for both your team and your customers.
💡 Remember: if you don't have a Resapayments payment terminal yet, contact our Support team to request one and have it configured on your platform.
