Offline customer orders and manual payment processing

When creating customer orders, does the "offline" payment type still allow for the collection of credit card information?  The API indicates "offline" allows the broker to process the payment manually, but seems mutually exclusive with collecting credit card information as "only a single payment may be included in the order" (in which case how could the broker possibly process without the CC info?)

Looking for a solution where we can integrate with the API without necessarily automatically processing the payments via Samurai.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

  If you want to store your customer CC info in the PCI Compliant vault you will need to setup with the Samurai gateway  as cards are authorized (then immediately cancelled) when you store a card in order to ensure that only good cards are stored. The authorization/cancel no longer takes place, but you still need to be setup with Samurai gateway in order to store cards.

  If you wish, you can still store your cards securely and not process your payments via Samurai. To do so you can just create the client credit card first and then submit your order as 'offline'.
