A transaction is conducted between a merchant site and a customer's electronic device using a payment processor. The merchant site is associated with a client-side application and a server-side application. The client-side application executes on the customer's electronic device. The client-side application electronically sends payment information retrieved from the customer's electronic device to the payment processor. The client-side application does not send the payment information to the server-side application. The payment processor creates a token from the payment information sent by the client-side application. The token functions as a proxy for the payment information. The payment processor electronically sends the token to the client-side application. The client-side application electronically sends the token to the server-side application for use by the server-side application in conducting the transaction. The payment information can thus be used by the server-side application via the token without the server-side application being exposed to the payment information.
