I am evaluating some Payment Gateway options and am looking at PayPal's vault option (similar to Braintree's vault).
What I found is that in the case of Braintree's vault storage, I can send credit card info securely (encrypted) to be stored on their servers, thus obviating the necessity of PCI compliancy issues.
Does PayPal's vault storage API have a similar way of sending the encrypted credit card info? I am looking at their documentation and it seems as though I need to send un-encrypted data to their vault.
Am I wrong in making this assumption? I would be very much interested as this will make me discard Paypal and go with Braintree as our Payment Gateway Service.
Thanks in advance.
