where does credit card payment goes??

Hello,
I had installed zencart on one domain for testing purpose. I had enabled credit card payment options. I was not expecting any customers to buy anything from my site.
But, one customer purchased one item in my site today. I received an email about this purchase. I have the item listed as pending in admin section. In admin it shows that customer has paid using credit card, and it shows some part of the number. Now, i am unsure where that money will go.

Please suggest me, where the credit card payment money will go. I have no idea.

with regards

Uding that module is intended for one that has the ability to process cards manually theough a merchant account the they have setup with their bank.

You would have a card reader with a key pad like you see at brick & mortar stores and get the rest of the cc# from the admin side and enter it.

If you do not have a merchant account - there is no way for you to process this

Here are a couple FAQs talking about this situation, which I found by searching for "credit card" in the FAQ area:

If a friend has a terminal in a related biz, could i use his to get my $150(assuming i can find the middle numbers which didnt get emailed to me from two orders last week
(I have now removed the payment/cc module) :blush:
or will it just not get taken out of their cc? I got NO email notification so didn;t realize it had happened til I logged into zc.

Thx in advance

oh sorry didnt realise old thread - will start new one if still can't find the answer today

First - don't start a new one.

Second- you can not accept credit cards without a merchant account. Period. Using your buddy's terminal could result in him losing *his* account. If you have orders, you need to contact the folks that placed them and make alternative arrangements.
