Use TransArmor tokens with Ecommerce
North America—United States and Canada
Overview
TransArmor tokens provide an additional layer of security to protect cardholder data during transactions and reduce the regeneration of payment tokens. Key points of this feature are:
- Enhance security—TA tokens replace sensitive cardholder data with randomly generated tokens, making it nearly impossible to decrypt the data.
- Reduce PCI-DSS scope—By removing sensitive data from the merchant’s environment, TA tokens help reduce the scope of PCI-DSS compliance requirements.
- Ease of implementation—TA tokens can be integrated with little to no new hardware requirements, making it easier for merchants to adopt this security measure.

Token Terminology
| Token type | Description |
|---|---|
| Single-pay token | A single-pay token in Clover, also known as a c-token, is a unique identifier used for a one-time payment transaction. When a payment is processed, this token is generated to securely represent the payment information without exposing sensitive card details |
| External token | An external token in Clover is generated by an external system, such as TransArmor®, which can then be used within the Clover ecosystem. This allows for seamless integration and secure payment processing across different platforms. |
| Multi-pay token | A multi-pay token in Clover allows for multiple transactions using the same payment information. This type of token is particularly useful for recurring payments, subscriptions, or any scenario where you need to charge a customer multiple times without requiring them to re-enter their payment details each time. |
