Yes they are, BUT if you use stripe(or any processor) for monthly recurring charges or tokenization, the card data is permanently locked to processor. So what happens next year when you decide you need to use a different processor for some reason? Well you're out of luck and will have to force all of your customers to re-enter payment data to change processors.

- ledgerdev 7y agoThat is good and some gateways do this as well but many don't and, having the tokens under your control means you don't have to co-ordinate a transfer between 2 other parties, but just proxy a new outbound request to your new provider and be done with it.
