What is payment tokenization and why is it important?

Payment tokenization is the process of substituting a value, or token, for cardholder information. This includes information such as:

  • credit card and banking data
  • billing details
  • shipping addresses

The actual customer data is stored on a secure server so that the only information submitted in a transaction are the tokens, reducing the risk of information being compromised.

Tokenization is vital not only to protect your business from hackers and data breaches, but to help keep your company in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Calolea Garlic Olive Oil in a stir-fry5. Calolea Olive Oils and Vinegars: With best-in-show and best-in-class awards over the years for several of their California extra virgin olive oils, Calolea is a top-flight producer to follow. In fact, their Mission Blend was a 2011 Gold Medal Winner in the California Olive Oil Council competition. In addition to regular oils, they offer a crisp and lively Meyer Lemon Olive Oil, an Orange Olive Oil that is a blend of mandarin, blood and navel oranges, and a Garlic Olive Oil with a heady amount of the stinking rose. In fact, I used their garlic oil in a stir-fry of mixed veggies (asparagus, mushrooms, red onion, cabbage), and it elevated this simple dish to a higher plane. For the same dinner, I drizzled some of their Orange Olive Oil over my salad of mixed greens, tossed in a tablespoon of their 12-year-old White Balsamic Vinegar imported from Italy, and I effortlessly took my mundane lettuce to leafy green nirvana.  I can’t wait to try all their amazing flavors in some of my favorite recipes. Speaking of which, I wonder how their oil would do over vanilla ice cream? (They are offering  a 10% discount if you use the code MK10off on the website.)
