CCAvenue TokenPay: A Multi-Network Tokenisation Solution

In compliance with RBI's latest payment guidelines pertaining to online card data storage, CCAvenue has introduced 'TokenPay', a secure multi-network Card-on-File Tokenisation (CoFT) solution. CCAvenue TokenPay helps ecommerce businesses to continue providing their customers a 'saved card' experience with enhanced security across all major card networks, including MasterCard, RuPay, and Visa.

CCAvenue has always responded swiftly to the changes in the regulatory framework so as to continue providing uninterrupted services to millions of Indian online businesses and the end customers, without compromising on speed and efficiency.

Card-on-File Tokenisation is a payment card encryption process that substitutes the 16-digit static card number with a string of randomly generated numbers known as 'tokens' that are virtually impossible to decrypt. This technology secures the customer's payment information against the risk of any card data leaks and fraudulent activities, and ensures that access to such data remains exclusively with the customer, the card network, and the issuing bank, in compliance with the RBI norms.

RBI Guidelines

The new RBI guidelines prevent online merchants, acquiring banks, and payment gateways/aggregators from storing customer-card related information, and permit only the Networks and Issuers to tokenize payment card information of the customer through his/her consent. Only these entities will be permitted to store the customer's card data and be responsible for issuing tokens for encryption of the card information.
CCAvenue TokenPay

CCAvenue TokenPay is an interoperable tokenization solution for all online businesses, enabling seamless payments across card networks with maximum data security in full compliance with the RBI guidelines. Merchants using other payment gateways can also tokenize cards through CCAvenue and continue using their preferred gateways to process token-based transactions.
How it Works

Network tokenization relies on the card networks to provision merchant-specific tokens upon receiving the token request from the authorised entity (Token Requestor). The entire Token Provisioning Flow has been depicted below.

Once token provisioning is complete, then these securely stored tokens can be used for processing subsequent token-based transactions.

Tokenisation would impact the following features and services that are offered by CCAvenue to its merchants.
