Store cards securely

A PCI vault for the cards travel platforms hold

Cards from guests and partners are stored with us, and your OTA, PMS or channel manager keeps a token for each one. Manage tokens by API, group cards by booking, property or your own reference, and keep cards current with network tokens.

For OTAs and booking engines, PMS and hotel tech and channel managers

The vault

What the vault holds

One token for the whole card

Number, CVV, the non-sensitive details and the 3D Secure result, behind a single token.

No duplicates if you choose

Send a card that is already stored and get its existing token back.

No limit

As many cards as you need, for as long as you need them.

The region you choose

Cards are stored in the region you pick, to meet local rules.

Your cards, your data

Managing stored cards

You own the data. We store it for you.

Find by your reference

Search cards by your own customer, merchant or booking reference.

Update

Change the expiry date when a guest or partner sends a new one.

Read the safe details

Read a card's non-sensitive details without touching the card number.

Delete

Remove a card when you no longer need it.

CVV rules

The CVV is removed once it has been used, as PCI DSS requires. You decide what "used" means, for the whole account or card by card.

Share by token

Partners who also use PCI Booking can share a card with you by token, without card numbers passing between you.

Access

Who can reach the vault

Known addresses

API access limited to IP addresses you know.

Approved destinations

Cards only go where you allow.

Users and keys

Separate users, each with its own keys and permissions.

Not tied to one payment provider

Cards stored with PCI Booking can be charged through any of our 120+ payment integrations, so a merchant can change payment provider without moving its cards. The cards are your data, and we don't lock you in.

Moving cards in

Already storing cards with another vault or payment provider? Cards can be loaded straight into PCI Booking.

FAQ

Questions about storing cards

Is storing cards with PCI Booking PCI compliant?

Yes. PCI Booking is a PCI DSS Level 1 service provider, assessed every year. The cards sit in our vault, not in your systems, so your systems stay out of PCI scope for them.

How long can we keep a card?

As long as you need, and as many cards as you need. The CVV is the exception: PCI DSS requires it to be removed once it has been used, and you decide what "used" means.

Where are the cards stored?

In the region you choose, to meet local rules.

Are we locked in?

No. The cards are your data, and we don't lock you in.
