# Share payment method tokens (developers)

> Learn how to use organization or network tokens across paypoints

<AudienceInfo audiences={['developers']} />

If your organization supports universal or network tokens, you can share `storedMethodId` values across paypoints configured to accept them.

<Info>
  Universal and network tokenization must be enabled by the Payabli team, and you can only share tokens that are created *after* the feature has been enabled in your organization. To learn more about these tokens, see [Tokenization Types](/guides/platform-tokenization-overview#types).
</Info>

## Using shared `storedMethodId`

Keep these considerations in mind when using shared tokens:

* The customer you want to use a shared token for must exist in the paypoint, or you must create one with the transaction. The customers must each have the same Payabli `customerNumber`.
* There's no way to pre-associate a token with a second customer record. The token becomes associated with the new customer record when you make the transaction.

{/* vale Payabli.Contractions = NO */}

* The `storedMethodId` must have been created after the feature was enabled. If the token existed before network or universal tokens were enabled in your account, the request returns a 5009 error that reads "Provided stored method and customer are not related".

{/* vale Payabli.Contractions = YES */}

To use a shared token, run a transaction and pass the `storedMethodId` in the paymentMethod object.

```bash Make transaction with a saved payment method focus={9-10}
curl --request POST \
    --url 'https://api-sandbox.payabli.com/api/MoneyIn/getpaid?forceCustomerCreation=false' \
    --header 'accept: application/json' \
    --header 'content-type: application/*+json' \
    --header 'requestToken: API TOKEN'
