This guide outlines how to manage customer payment methods in Jetpay. This includes creating contacts, adding bank accounts, and tokenizing credit cards. All payment flows that require a customer payment method reference these objects.

Start with the [create a contact](docId\:BzwF0wyOoqBKGSFuGEnH0) guide, as it is one of the most foundational steps in using Jetpay. All payment methods and debits are associated with a contact, so every integration begins here.

If you are already familiar with creating contacts in Jetpay, you can proceed to the [Add a contact bank account](docId\:VR87T15eAcOHe-60cKEQv) and/or [Tokenize a contact credit card](docId:_5zW0FS71q4rn5rY5IFPj) guides, depending on what kind of payment methods you want to support.
