We're currently using the PayPal Payments Advanced and/or Payflow Gateway module with the Payflow Pro option selected to take credit card payments. I'm looking for an alternative to help with PCI compliance where we won't be processing credit cards on our site.
I'm not interested in moving to another processor. Half of our customers pay with PayPal, and it's a HUGE time savings for us to have all our payments integrated in one place. As far as I know, only PayPal can do this. I've checked, and Braintree still reports credit card payments separately from PayPal payments. And I'm not interested in downgrading to a PayPal standard account and having the user go offsite to pay or using the horrible looking PayPal iframe.
I've been doing some research, and it appears that PayPal has a way to do offload card processing to them within the Pro account without making use of an iframe. The merchant's site hosts the credit card input boxes, but the data never touches the server. From their website:
The developer information on Transparent Redirect is here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/cl...arent-redirect
I'm assuming this is something that Miva would need to build into the PayPal payment modules; store owners probably couldn't do this on their own outside the module. Is that assumption correct? If so, is this something that's on the roadmap for Miva? It would be a great feature to have available.

Use the optional Transparent Redirect feature, which helps merchants be PCI compliant. With Transparent Redirect, the buyer enters credit card information on a web form that you host, but payment details are posted silently to the PayPal server when the buyer presses submit, so the credit card details never go through your server.
