PCI compliance made easy
Carve out card data so your system never touches it. Vaultera handles PCI Level 1 compliance, so you don't need a full annual audit.
Vaultera sits in the middle
Your system never sees card data. Vaultera intercepts API calls, tokenises on response, and detokenises on request, all transparently.
Card data from the 3rd party is intercepted by Vaultera and replaced with a secure token before reaching your system.
Why PCI DSS compliance is critical
When you're running a Property Management System (PMS) or Channel Manager, you're constantly receiving card details from OTAs like Booking.com and Expedia. These reservations include guest credit card numbers, and that means you're liable for PCI DSS Level 1 compliance.
PCI Level 1 compliance traditionally means a full annual audit by an independent assessor, expensive infrastructure changes, and potential liability for breaches. It's a burden most PMS platforms never intended to carry.
The Vaultera solution: Intercept card data at the point of receipt, tokenise it immediately, and store it in our PCI Level 1 vault. Your system receives a token, never the actual card number. You remain out of PCI scope.
The tokenisation flow
Guest books on OTA
A guest makes a reservation on Booking.com, Expedia, or another OTA. Their credit card details are captured as part of the booking.
OTA sends reservation to your system
The OTA's API sends the complete reservation data, including the guest's card details, to your PMS or Channel Manager.
Vaultera intercepts and tokenises
Vaultera's API proxy intercepts the card data before it reaches your servers. The card is tokenised and securely stored in our PCI Level 1 vault.
Your system receives a token
Your PMS receives the reservation with a token in place of the card number. You have everything you need, but no card data liability.
Charge: token → real card
When you need to charge the guest, send the token to Vaultera. We detokenise and send the real card details to your payment acquirer, securely and directly.
You stay compliant
Your system never touches a real card number. You remain outside PCI scope. No annual audits needed. Just secure tokenisation.

Extract card data from OTA APIs
Card data never passes through your servers
Vaultera can extract card details directly from OTA API responses (Booking.com, Expedia, etc.) before they reach your infrastructure. This is a unique capability: most providers require you to handle the full data flow yourself.
Why this matters:
Send tokens to any acquirer
Flexible payment routing
Vaultera acts as a secure proxy. Send tokenised card data to any PCI-compliant payment endpoint: your chosen acquirer, payment processor, or in-house payment system. No vendor lock-in.
Detokenise on demand and route to any endpoint. Swap providers without re-tokenising.
