Network tokenization
Visa Token Service + Mastercard MDES. Saved cards stay valid through reissues, replacements, and program upgrades.
// INDUSTRIES
Subscription billing built for the long run.
Network tokenization, smart retry, dunning workflow, and MRR reporting integrations — keeping your recurring revenue reliable as you scale.
// THE CHALLENGE
Recurring billing depends on saved cards staying valid for years, not weeks. When cards expire, get reissued, or get upgraded, traditional saved-card setups silently start failing — and the customer who didn't cancel just stops paying. Most processors give you the basic save-card flow but leave the long-term reliability work to you.
// HOW VON PAY SOLVES IT
Von's vault uses Visa Token Service and Mastercard MDES network tokens, which stay valid through reissues, replacements, and program upgrades. Smart retry handles the soft declines that happen anyway. Dunning workflow handles the rest. The combination keeps reliable subscribers paying without manual customer intervention.

// COMMON QUESTIONS
What underwriting usually asks about this vertical.
- Which subscription billing platforms do you integrate with?
- Direct integrations with Recurly, Chargebee, and Maxio (formerly SaaSOptics), plus our own API for custom billing systems. Token-migration tooling can move an existing subscriber base over without requiring customers to re-enter card details.
- How does network tokenization help recurring billing?
- Network tokens are payment credentials issued directly by Visa and Mastercard rather than the merchant. When a card behind the token is reissued, replaced, or upgraded, the token stays valid — saved cards keep working without customer intervention. This is the single biggest lever for keeping recurring billing reliable.
- Do you support smart retry and dunning?
- Yes. Retry scheduling is decline-code-aware (different retry intervals for soft vs. hard declines), and customer-facing dunning email/SMS is configurable. The combination keeps reliable subscribers paying without unnecessary friction.
- What about MRR / ARR reporting?
- Webhook-driven subscription lifecycle events (active, past-due, canceled, recovered) feed into your finance and analytics tooling. Compatible with Maxio, Equals, and most subscription-analytics platforms.
- Can we migrate from Stripe Billing or another processor?
- Yes. Card token migration moves your existing subscriber base onto Von's vault without re-card-up. Our team handles the technical coordination with your previous processor and runs a parallel test before cutover.
