Braintree Payments
Refer to the documentation on Braintree Payments for other help topics.
Vaulting is the term Braintree Payments uses to refer to saving a payment for future use or repeated charges, e.g., for subscriptions. You might have heard of this under other names such as tokenisation. Braintree Payments can vault credit cards and PayPal accounts that have been used successfully to pay for a purchase. Whether or not a a payment is vaulted depends on the default settings on your site or User preference, if the decision is given to them. Vaulted payments are maintained by Braintree. You can access them in your Braintree account.
For your customers, the benefit of vaulting a payment is that they do not have to re-enter payment details each time. Vaulted cards will automatically be offered for future purchases without the need to re-enter details. And PayPal account holders do not have to login each time. For your business, it may increase rates of completion since a vaulted payment represents fewer steps to completion.
During checkout on your website, vaulted payments are automatically listed under Braintree's Payment Methods tab. The User just needs to click on their preferred option to select it for payment. 
Vaulting options for your website are set in Braintree Payment Settings. There you can set the following:
- payment types (credit cards, PayPal) that can be vaulted
- automatic vaulting when a payment is successful
- allow User to decide on vaulting
- allow User to delete a vaulted payment
- position the User's default vaulted option at the top of the list.
