🔑 What PG Bolt Is & How It Works

📌 One‑Time Tokenization

  • With PG Bolt, users can tokenize their Visa or Mastercard once within the PhonePe app.
  • Tokenization means replacing sensitive card details like the 16‑digit number and CVV with a secure wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital token stored on the device.
  • After tokenization, users don’t have to re‑enter card details — including CVV — on subsequent purchases at any merchant that supports PhonePe PG.
 One‑Click Checkout

  • Once a card is tokenized, subsequent transactions can be completed with a single click during in‑app checkout.
  • This removes the need for repetitive steps, making payments faster and more convenient for customers.
🛡️ Security & Convenience

  • Since actual card details are never transmitted or stored, tokenization reduces the risk of data exposure.
  • Eliminating CVV prompts and redirect steps also helps keep users within the merchant’s app during checkout, improving the user experience.
