Do you know how PayPal does it? They have a 30 day auth validity, and in some cases there's an option to extend the auth past the 30 days.

We use PayPal a lot for our e-commerce store, and have verified the 30 day auth with near 100% success.

PayPal stores card numbers. If an authorization expires they can just re-authorize. Those details are hidden from you.
