# Manage Tokens Overview

> Query, update, duplicate, and manage PCI Booking card tokens. Covers expiration, CVV retention, 3DS data, customer and property associations.

Regardless of which [tokenization method](/capture-cards/overview) you used to capture a card, the result is the same: a token. Every token works the same way and gives you access to the same management capabilities.

## What a Token Contains

A token represents a complete card record. All data associated with a card is stored within the single token, regardless of how much or how little was provided at capture time:

* **PAN** (Primary Account Number). The full card number.
* **Expiration date**.
* **Cardholder name**.
* **CVV** (if captured). Subject to [CVV retention policy](/capture-cards/cvv-retention-policy).
* **3D Secure authentication data** (if captured). CAVV, ECI, and transaction ID from 3DS challenges.
* **Non-sensitive metadata**. Card type, masked number (first 6 / last 4), creation date, creator reference.

Whether a card was tokenized with just a PAN or with full details including CVV and 3DS data, it is all stored in one token.

## Token Identifier

Every token is identified by a **cardURI**:

```text theme={null}
https://service.pcibooking.net/api/payments/paycard/{token}
```

Use this cardURI in all API calls that reference the token.
