The challenge

Payments shouldn't expand your audit

Storing cards to power billing or embedded payments can pull your entire platform into PCI scope — and tie you to one processor.

Scope creep

Touching card data anywhere in your stack risks a full SAQ D assessment across every service and environment.

Recurring & card-on-file

Subscriptions and saved cards need a card you can charge again — without storing the real PAN yourself.

Processor lock-in

If your cards live in one gateway's vault, switching or adding a PSP means re-collecting every card.

Multi-tenant data

Marketplaces and platforms handle cards for many merchants, multiplying the compliance burden.

EU data residency

European customers expect card data to stay in the EU under GDPR, not be shipped to a US vault.

Speed to ship

Engineering teams need to add payments fast, without building and certifying a vault in-house.

The solution

A vault your app never has to see inside

Integrate in minutes

Hosted fields and SDKs capture the card; a REST API vaults and detokenizes it. Your app only handles tokens.

Recurring & saved cards

Charge stored tokens for subscriptions, usage billing and card-on-file — no PAN in your database.

Processor-agnostic

Route tokens to any PSP or our acquiring engine, and switch without re-vaulting or re-collecting cards.

EU residency & scope cut

Card data stays in the EU and most platforms qualify for SAQ A instead of full SAQ D.

FAQ

SaaS & platforms, answered

01 How does a SaaS platform reduce PCI scope with tokenization?

Cards are captured through hosted fields or SDKs and stored in a PCI DSS Level 1 vault. Your application and database only ever hold tokens, so cardholder data never touches your infrastructure and most platforms qualify for SAQ A instead of a full SAQ D assessment.

02 Can we run recurring billing and card-on-file?

Yes. Tokens represent a stored card you can charge again for subscriptions, usage billing or saved cards on file — without holding the real PAN. Detokenization happens inline when you forward a charge to your processor.

03 Is the vault processor-agnostic?

Yes. Tokens work with any PSP — Stripe, Adyen, Nexi or our own RoxPay acquiring engine — so you can route, add or switch processors without re-vaulting cards or asking customers to re-enter them.

04 How fast can developers integrate?

PCI Proxy ships a clean REST API, a sandbox and SDKs, so engineers can vault and detokenize cards in a few lines. EU data residency and transparent interchange++ pricing come built in.
