Using Apple Pay Token for Recurring Payments

Hey there,

We would like to use Apple Pay for recurring payments (subscriptions), but are a little confused on what's available to us, while maintaining PCI compliance. It would seem that ideally we would use the Apple Pay token to then create an TabaPay token which we'd then use for future payment. However, the documentation seems to be geared to only using Apple Pay for one time purchases, specifically this piece from the documentation.

"The [Apple] payment token encapsulates the information needed to complete a payment transaction, including the device-specific account number (DPAN), the amount, and a unique, one-time-use cryptogram", emphasis on one-time-use.

Is it possible to use an Apple Pay token for TabaPay token account creation, somehow (either via decryption and a rest call) or are there other helpers/techniques available for non-PCI compliant users to accomplish Apple Pay for recurring payments?

Thank you!
