PluginProperty
Optional: The name of a property to be used with this plug-in and its value.
ProtocolProperty
Optional: The name of the keyword that should be retained in the database. Protocol properties are specified inside a <ProtocolProperties> element (more than one can be specified). Include the optional attribute keep="true" to retain the data for this keyword in the database. For example: 

<ProtocolProperties>
<ProtocolProperty name="cc_brand" keep="true" />
</ProtocolProperties>

In this example, the brand of credit card used by the customer is kept in the database. If keep="false" is specified, no data is retained for that property. If no keep attribute is specified, the default is keep="true". When a retention is specified here, it takes priority over any global retention specified in the PaymentSystemPluginMapping XML file.
