Email with middle cc numbers for Auth.net?

[rbobzin]

The Zen Cart credit card module sends the store owner an email after a completed transaction with the middle 8 digits of the credit card number - which is a GREAT feature. Is there any way to incorporate this into the Authorize.net AIM module?

Thanks.

No. You should never have need for the full credit card number, esp when it's already been processed.

Why do you think you need it ?

Thanks again for quick reply! This client rents refrigerators/microwaves to college students. They're delivered to the students' dorm rooms in August, then picked up in May. If picked up units are dirty, broken or missing, client would like to charge credit card with appropriate fees as outlined in "Acceptaqnce Required" T&C page. Auth.net allows transactions against a credit card (via their transaction id) for up to 120 days only, so access to cc info after that would be nice.

Any ideas?

This would be a violation with authorize.net terms and conditions, with thier fraud protection etc.

However the card can still be charged within authorize.net merchant account have you looked in there?

Actually, I know little about Authorize.net, although just downloaded their manual so I can start to learn. I'm relying on the client's interpretation of what he can/can't do with cc info.

I appreciate the quick responses to this - let me dig into this Auth manual and see what I can find as the best legal, ethical and practical option(s) to respond to this issue.

Thanks again!

You might find that a dialog with an auth.net representative may help you answer your questions quickly also.
