Stripe has figured out a way to allow websites to save credit card details for future purchases without having to save to our server. It's all handled on Stripe server. Thus no need for us to be PCI compliant, lower site risk etc. 

However it appears the Stripe gateway on IPB is not making use of these features. Might be a nice upgrade. 

Unless that description text is lying (which I doubt), I would say that what you ask for is already there. 

Yeah - Stripe's new Subscription thing also stores the card details (but also the plan details) on their servers, but they've handled storing card details on their end for ages. Stripe is awesome

But it appears to be storing on IPB and either not at all on stripe or both on stripe and IPB

im suggesting only on stripe

do you know if this feature is indeed working as described in ACP? Because it's taking the number via a form text box on IPB side.

I think what youre seeing is a keyed version of it. So when they use the saved card your site sends they key to stripe and stripe revalidates. Still PCI compliant since you're not exactly saving the card info directly on your server.

Just because the form is on your server, doesn't mean the CC infos are stored there.
