Credit Card problems

[OBorne_Computers]

>_< This is really annoying me so all help will be really grateful.

 

When trying to select the Credit Card module, it doesn't ask for any information on my bank for the money to go to. Also, when I tried buying an item (to test if it worked) it told me that my credit card was not valid, but it is and I know for a fact that it is because I have used it.

 

The error message says something about the first four digits being incorect, but they aren't.

The generic credit card module will just perform a "sanity" check on the format of the numbers. Look at cc_validation function in catalog/includes/classes/cc_validation.php for the regular expression detail.

 

If you want the credit card to be "processed" and monies deposited into your bank then you'll need to establish an account with a merchant (authorize.net, linkpoint, etc.) and enable the appropriate payment modules.

So what happens by default? Where does the money go by default or do you have to make an account with a merchant?

 

Thanks for the help, Tom.

With the generic CC module, the credit card (or portion of the CC number) is stored in the oscommerce DB with the customer's order. You as the admin will get an email (if configured by you) with the "middle" portion of the credit card. You put the two together, get on the phone to your bank or use whatever mechanism you have established with your bank and charge the creditcard.

 

You also could use PayPal (they except CC's) and not setup a merchant account.

Thanks Tom. This helped me a lot. :)

OceanRanch, or anyone, I have a stupid question. Where do you find the rest of the credit card information in the database? I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. Do you have to actually go through, say, MyPHPAdmin to retrieve it? This installation is for another business and that cumbersome process won't work for them.

 

At your convenience, please set me straight ... and thanks in advance.

the card information is stored in the orders table and should show up on the orders detail page in admin.

Thanks boxtel. I know it was an ignorant question but you helped me immensely and I appreciate it. Thanks again.

I have problem: The CC module is the only chosen form of payment (which is correct). However, when i go to buy an item, after shipping i proceed to billing and where the user is supposed to enter their credit card details, there is nothing - as if the CC.php module didnt load. I have checked everything and cannot see why it doesnt appear.

 

Any ideas?!
