# Merchant Tokenization

## Tokenization for merchants  

Thales D1 merchant tokenization streamlines access to card on file (COF) tokenization for many different use cases and payment cards. Thales D1 merchant tokenization elevates payment experience worldwide for online merchants, QR code and e-commerce wallets and processors. COF tokenization improves user experience and reduces card credentials exposure.
