Many payment gateways offer a vault feature that allows you to save your customers card details for future transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a customer opts to save their card information, it is securely stored for subsequent use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if an order is canceled for any reason, the stored payment data might inadvertently be included when generating a credit memo, which could pose security concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can remove that vault information programmatically from the Magento 2 credit memo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution: Remove Vault Information from Magento 2 Credit Memos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start with creating an events.xml file at the Vendor\/Extension\/etc<\/strong> directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<config xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"urn:magento:framework:Event\/etc\/events.xsd\">\n    <event name=\"sales_order_creditmemo_save_after\">\n        <observer name=\"remove_vault_info_on_creditmemo\" instance=\"Vendor\\Extension\\Observer\\RemoveVaultInfo\"\/>\n    <\/event>\n<\/config><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Now, create a RemoveVaultInfo.php file <\/strong>inside Vendor\/Extension\/Observer<\/strong> directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\nnamespace Vendor\\Extension\\Observer;\n\nuse Magento\\Framework\\Event\\Observer;\nuse Magento\\Framework\\Event\\ObserverInterface;\nuse Magento\\Vault\\Api\\PaymentTokenManagementInterface;\nuse Magento\\Vault\\Api\\PaymentTokenRepositoryInterface;\nuse Magento\\Sales\\Model\\Order\\Creditmemo;\n\nclass RemoveVaultInfo implements ObserverInterface\n{\n    protected $paymentTokenManagement;\n    protected $paymentTokenRepository;\n\n    public function __construct(\n        PaymentTokenManagementInterface $paymentTokenManagement,\n        PaymentTokenRepositoryInterface $paymentTokenRepository\n    ) {\n        $this->paymentTokenManagement = $paymentTokenManagement;\n        $this->paymentTokenRepository = $paymentTokenRepository;\n    }\n\n    public function execute(Observer $observer)\n    {\n        $creditmemo = $observer->getEvent()->getCreditmemo();\n        if ($creditmemo instanceof Creditmemo) {\n            $order = $creditmemo->getOrder();\n            $payment = $order->getPayment();\n            $customerId = $order->getCustomerId();\n            $paymentMethod = $payment->getMethod();\n\n            \/\/ Retrieve the payment token\n            $paymentToken = $this->paymentTokenManagement->getByGatewayToken(\n                $payment->getAdditionalInformation('token'),\n                $paymentMethod,\n                $customerId\n            );\n\n            if ($paymentToken) {\n                \/\/ Delete the payment token\n                $this->paymentTokenRepository->delete($paymentToken);\n            }\n        }\n    }\n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Using the simple code, you can remove any associated stored payment tokens or vault information from the credit memo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s it!
