Where is credit card number

[benn600]

Credit card number has a field in the orders table. Where is it actually stored? For some reason it is not writing the cc number here. It used to write it with 8 X's in the middle. What do I need to change to get it to write the CCnumber here?

Do you have admin > modules > payment > Credit Card - Offline Processing > installed and setup?

It is not installed or even listed. Do I need to obtain it?

Why do you want to store the Card number?

Might want to look in the PCI security that became a requirement 1.1.2008...

Use a gateway.... Every merchant account provider offers access to a gateway of some type...

That's the way our internal system does it. As soon as the credit card is run, it is deleted as far as I know.

Please tell me what I need to do to get the credit card number saved in the orders table.

Thank you!

What version of Zen Cart are you using as far back as I can recall this is built in and it splits the CC# with part being sent via email.
There is no automated way to save the complete # and if you re-code to do so you will have many hoops to jump through to be able to accept cards as the majors will shut you down if you are not compliant

I does not matter how you internal system Does it, you have to be PCI compliant to store the data in any form, even if it is on your zen shopping cart.


The offline CC mod is NOT PCI Compliant, You should be using a Gateway like Authorize.net or some other Gateway to process the payments in real time from the Shopping Cart, this way your not storing the data in any form

FYI I am not going to gtell you how to store the data, because it sounds like you would do it in a unsecure manner, ID theft and CC Fraud are major problems I will not help promte that..

Okay but at least I need to restore what I had before. Now my orders table doesn't have anything in the cc_number field! Any idea what I changed? I accidentally make changes from time to time that destroy what we had...cause then I can get the middle digits from email like you suggest.

If you've made changes that have broken things, then your best solution is to look at your backups and compare things to identify what you've changed and may need to fix.

[benn600]

I haven't really made changes other than maybe in the admin area. Aren't there a lot of settings to control if the cc_number is stored in the database?... even just the outer 4 digits (xxxxxxxx)
