It is similar to the concept of encryption ..
The card / user details will not be stored at the merchant end, it will go to VISA/MASTERCARD and they will give a reference string to the merchant as transaction reference.

What is tokenisation? As per the RBI, tokenisation refers to the replacement of actual card details with an alternate code called the "token"

What is tokenisation?
Ans. Tokenisation refers to replacement of actual card details with an alternate code called the “token”, which shall be unique for a combination of card, token requestor (i.e. the entity which accepts request from the customer for tokenisation of a card and passes it on to the card network to issue a corresponding token) and device (referred hereafter as “identified device”).

What is the benefit of tokenisation?
Ans. A tokenised card transaction is considered safer as the actual card details are not shared with the merchant during transaction processing.

How can the tokenisation be carried?
Ans. The card holder can get the card tokenised by initiating a request on the app provided by the token requestor. The token requestor will forward the request to the card network which, with the consent of the card issuer, will issue a token corresponding to the combination of the card, the token requestor, and the device.
