Share tokens securely with Forward API
A new way to connect your Adyen tokenized cards with other payment partners, securely, efficiently, and without expanding your PCI scope.
October 2025
Introducing Forward API
We’re adding Forward API to the Adyen Checkout API suite. This new feature lets you share card details stored in Adyen’s PCI-compliant vault with other payment processors or endpoints in a secure way. You can keep Adyen as your central token vault while connecting to multiple PSPs for payment routing, giving you more flexibility and control over your payment setup.
Simplify your payment infrastructure
Forward API is part of the Tokenize module of our Adyen Uplift suite. It’s a solution that helps you manage sensitive payment data with ease. By using Adyen’s trusted vault, you can reduce your PCI compliance scope, minimize risk, and securely forward tokens to other PCI DSS–compliant providers. This gives you the freedom to run a multi-processor strategy while keeping your infrastructure simple and secure.
Get started with Forward API
You can begin integrating Forward API through Adyen’s Checkout API. Our Implementation team can support your setup, and you’ll find step-by-step guidance in Adyen Docs. Visit the documentation to learn more and start building flexibility into your payments today.
