A method for encapsulating transaction instrument information in a transaction includes storing, in association with a first transaction and by a processor of the primary transaction processor server, transaction data associated with a transaction instrument for a first transaction. The primary transaction processor server transmits the transaction data to a payment network processor, and receives an authorization package in response that includes a cryptograph and a first network token. The primary transaction processor server generates a second token that includes a changeable alpha-numeric string associated with the transaction instrument used in the first transaction, and transmits the second token to a merchant device. The second token indicates that a transaction associated with the second token is either i) a customer-initiated transaction or ii) a merchant-initiated transaction. The secondary transaction processor may approve or reject a transaction using the second token without a cryptogram.

Encapsulation of payment accounts with tokenization

A method for encapsulating transaction instrument information in a transaction includes storing, in association with a first transaction and by a processor of the primary transaction processor server, payment data associated with a payment instrument used to settle a cost of a first transaction. The primary transaction processor server transmits the transaction data to a payment network processor. The primary transaction processor server receives an authorization package from the payment network processor that includes a cryptograph and a first network token. The processor of the primary transaction processor server generates a secondary token, and stores a correlation record to a computer-readable memory. The correlation record associates the secondary token to a second object stored by the primary transaction processor. The processor of the primary transaction processor server transmits a second transaction package including at least one of the network token and the secondary token to a merchant device.
