Theme Engine token security

Recharge is launching a token security enhancement for merchants using Theme Engine to improve security measures. This enhancement is the same security measure used in Recharge's standard customer portal. Once this security enhancement is enabled for your store, all links in your customer portal will contain a security token at the end of the customer portal URL. This article provides an overview of the token security enhancements and steps to update your token security. 

Before you start

• If you already see the security token appended to your customer portal URLs, the feature is already active for your store. If this is the case, you do not need to take any further action. 
• The Theme Engine Token Security enhancements will be automatically enabled for all merchants on January 31st, 2023. To ensure your customer portal works properly with these enhancements, you must test your customer portal and complete any necessary changes before Token Security is enabled for your store.
• If you are testing your customer portal and fixing any issues before January 31st, 2023, you must fill out the Enablement Form to have the enhancements applied to your store.
• Theme Engine customizations require custom coding. Custom coding is not supported by Recharge as per our design and integration policy. You can work with a developer, contact a Recharge Partner, or if eligible, take advantage of Recharge's Merchant Development Program to implement these changes.
