Hello @mwbdanish
Vaulting requires your PayPal business account to be approved for Reference Transactions to start saving your customer’s payment methods using the PayPal vault
Here’s how to request Vaulting approval from your PayPal account using a web browser:
- Go to Account Settings.
- Click Payment preferences.
- Click Get Started next to “Save PayPal and Venmo payment methods” to start the approval process.
PayPal will send you an email with the next steps or the approval confirmation.
Once you’re approved, go back to Account Settings and click Configure to set up saved payments.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Femi.
I have gone through Paypal documentation. It seems like the vaulting feature is support only for US.
I have account of the Greece. Could you please confirm with that
Hi @mwbdanish
The Vaulting feature is available for every PayPal account holder, including merchants from Greece. But to use this feature, you need special approval: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-paypal-payments/#get-vaulting-approval
If you don’t see the menu mentioned above, you can also contact the PayPal Merchant Support directly as described here: https://woocommerce.com/document/paypal-reference-transactions/#section-1
Please note that the next PayPal Payments update includes an experimental feature to implement “PayPal Subscriptions”: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-paypal-payments/wiki/Testing-features-previews
This feature can sell subscriptions on a fixed billing schedule without requiring special permissions from PayPal. This makes subscription applications for PayPal more accessible, albeit with more limitations than Vaulting.
Kind regards,
Niklas
