ECommerce
Tokenization
Shift4's i4Go secures cardholder data (CHD) in e-commerce business environments by intercepting CHD at the point of entry (so it never enters the merchant’s web server).

Payment Transactions
Once the token is obtained via i4Go, refer to the RESTful API to complete a payment transaction.
Tokenization for Hotel Reservations
4Res is a cardholder data firewall that sits between the external reservation system (RES) and a hotel's property management system (PMS) and allows CHD to be tokenized before it enters the hotel's environment. See the 4Res Vendor Guide.
