# Payment Method Management SDK

The Hyperswitch Payment Methods Management SDK provides a secure solution for merchants to handle and store payment information without the burden of PCI DSS compliance requirements. By leveraging Hyperswitch's Vault service, merchants can securely store customer payment methods (credit cards, digital wallets, etc.) while minimizing their exposure to sensitive payment data.

#### Why Integrate the Management SDK?

Hyperswitch simplifies the complexities of payment method management, so you can offer a seamless, secure experience to your customers with minimal effort.

1. **Payment Method Creation**: Easily allow your customers to save new payment methods during checkout, providing a convenient option for future transactions.
2. **Storing Payment Methods**: Hyperswitch securely stores customer payment details, enabling repeat purchases without requiring them to re-enter their information each time.
3. **Retrieving Payment Methods**: Customers can quickly access their saved payment methods, streamlining their checkout process and enhancing their overall experience.
4. **Deleting/Deactivating Payment Methods**: Keep payment options up to date by allowing customers to manage outdated or inactive methods, ensuring a clean and efficient payment experience.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hyperswitch.io/~/revisions/gkH4cp2rB1DvMiW6aktj/about-hyperswitch/payment-suite-1/payment-method-management-sdk.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
