# Tokenization and Recurring Payments

Tokenization gives merchants the ability to securely store payment information for future use. By saving a customer's payment method as a token, merchants can schedule card-on-file (CoF) charges and set up recurring payment plans. Tokens protect sensitive data, simplify PCI compliance, and never expire. Each token retains the customer’s address and other details to help reduce transaction declines caused by mismatched information. You can also store multiple tokens per customer to support multiple payment methods.
