It is a secure protocol in which your card details get converted into a unique token during the online payment process. This means your full card number is not shared or stored directly by Hosted.com® when processing future payments.

A payment token is used by the secure payment processor to complete approved transactions linked to your account. It cannot be used as your actual card number and is designed to help protect your payment details.
Tokenization is a secure way to process card payments because it helps keep your full card number protected. Instead of storing or reusing your actual card details, the payment processor uses a secure token for approved transactions.
Encryption protects card details by scrambling the information during processing. Tokenization goes a step further by replacing credit card details with a secure token. This reduces the need to handle the actual credit card number during future approved payments.
