Mastercard MDES Digital Enablement API

MDES allows a merchant to tokenize Account PANs entered by consumers or existing Account PANs held on file, replacing each PAN with a unique MDES token (subject to issuer participation). These tokens can be used for ecommerce and in-app transactions in the same way as Account PANs.
