Both approaches are PCI-compliant and prevent direct card data transmission, meeting PCI DSS requirements while maintaining security across web and mobile applications.

Additional requirements include secure webhook verification, encrypted data transmission, customer consent for recurring charges, and proper handling of payment disputes and refund documentation.
