Request the gateway to create or update a token that references a source of funds stored with a payment provider such as PayPal.
Use this operation to initiate a browser interaction, in which the payer authorizes you to make subsequent payments against their account. For PayPal, the token wraps a PayPal Billing Agreement. Like all gateway tokens, you can:
use them for subsequent payments (PayPal calls these reference transactions)
have a token repository that includes a mix of tokenized cards, tokenized PayPal and other tokenized accounts
update a token with a different account - for example, your payer moves from PayPal to/from card as their preferred payment method, then you can retain the same token.
Your payment service provider will configure your token repository for you (see How to Configure Tokenization for details). This will determine:
If you can supply the token yourself, or if the gateway will generate one for you.
If you can update a token with a different account.
The form of the token that the gateway will generate. The generated token id is a random number. It begins with a '9' (so that is does not create a valid card number) and passes a Luhn (Mod-10) check.
When the same account is retokenized, whether the gateway return the same token or a new token.
