Hey Blackbaud team and community, I have a few questions regarding the tokenization process for Cards and Direct Debit Accounts that I'd like to put all here for clarity and to centralize all of them in a single question.
- Is it possible to tokenize a Credit Card for future charges using Blackbaud Checkout? If yes, how can I do that? The documentation wasn't clear enough to me.
- Is it possible to tokenize a Bank Account for future ACH charges using Blackbaud Checkout? If yes, how can I do that? I didn't find anything related to Bank Account tokens for ACH transactions in the documentation.
- For how long lasts a tokenized card or bank account? I didn't find any information about this in the docs.
Please, bear in mind that regarding the tokenization process we don't want to handle sensitive information from credit cards from our donors for PCI compliance. We want to let Blackbaud handle this sensitive information for us.
The context: We want to integrate Blackbaud checkout for our embedded donation forms being used on many Non-profit webpages. There're basically two types of donations: one-time and recurring. We want to grab a token from Blackbaud checkout to be able to charge later on a recurring basis for recurring donations.
