Token & Group Lifecycle
Tokens and token groups have states that control whether they can authorize charging. Managing these states is how you control access over time.
Token States
Each token has two independent state flags:
State Default Actions Effect When Negative
Valid Yes (on creation) Validate / Invalidate Token cannot charge anywhere
Blocked No (on creation) Block / Unblock Token cannot charge anywhere
To manage these states: navigate to Local tokens, click on the token to open its detail panel, and use the corresponding buttons.
Tip: Both Valid and Not Blocked are required for a token to work. Invalidating is typically used when a card is permanently deactivated, while blocking is a temporary measure (e.g. a lost card that might be found again).
Token Group States
State Default Actions Effect When Disabled
Enabled Yes (on creation) Enable / Disable token group All tokens in this group lose their location-based access through this group
Disabling a group is a quick way to revoke access for an entire set of tokens without deleting or modifying individual tokens. Re-enabling the group restores access instantly.
Deleting Tokens and Groups
- Deleting a token — permanently removes the token. It can no longer authorize charging anywhere. Requires typing “delete” to confirm.
- Deleting a token group — permanently removes the group. All tokens that were in the group lose the location-based access the group provided. The tokens themselves are not deleted and any direct charger access they have is unaffected.
