Manual CC Authorization

[BushyTea]

Well it seems odd to me and we are trying to go another route with our client but right now the client the store is being used for likes to manually enter in all CC numbers through their merchant account setup in their office.

So is there a way in Zencart that a customer can go through the order process and do everything as if purchasing but instead of instantly charging their CC it sends sends all the info to the admin to manually enter in all CC info?

Thanks

in the admin > modules > payment > Credit Card > enable and configure and test that the emails arrive

This will split the cc number as required to be PCI compliant(not store a complete cc number anywhere) and can be processed manually

Part will be in the admin with the order the remainder will be emailed

[BushyTea]

oh ok, so just use this option and take the digits that come in the email along with the digits in the order online and manually enter.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks guys.

Now is there a way to show all the credit card info in the admin section instead of the split email method? My client is requesting this feature to speed up their processing as they get alot of orders.

Thanks!

Absolutely not!! The numbers are not stored due to security requirements.

If they're getting that many orders, they should probably consider an automated gateway service instead.
Here are some for reference: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...es&pages_id=27

Thanks

Thats what I told them but he wanted to try it anyways so I asked even though I pretty well knew the answer lol.

Is there a better way to setup the email that gets sent with more precise order numer or the customer name instead of just "new order #3"?

Thanks!

[DrByte]

Isn't "New Order #3" the precise order number?

[BushyTea]

Yeah I agree just trying to see what options we had as apparantly it doesn't seem that obvious to the person using it.

Well, since the order number is what the email must be matched up with, it doesn't seem like it'll be much help if the customer name was used.

1. Receive email
2. Note the order number in the subject line
3. Log in to admin ...
4. Go to Admin->Customers->Orders
5. Find the order - click to select.
6. Click to edit/view it.
7. Now you have the middle digits in email and the outer digits in Admin, so can process the transaction through the POS terminal.

Matching up to a customer will require two more steps to find the customer and then to view that customer's orders ... which is about 4 additional clicks and maybe even typing to search for them.

In fact, the subject line and the email contents were originally created to be intentionally brief so that someone snooping around might not even understand what the email is about ... hence additional security.

If someone gains access to your customers' credit card numbers due to lack of security in your handling of their information, you can be liable for extremely large lawsuits and losses. It only has to happen once before someone complaining about the extra work realizes it's a life-saver rather than a nuisance.

An automated processing gateway won't complain about matching numbers up. Granted, there's a monthly fee to have that luxury ... but no complaints about extra work either.
