credit card question

[Guest]

Hi,

I would like to know does the credit card details (e.g credit card number) provided by the customers are they stored in the database or is it only used for during the transaction only. I did have look at the database could not see a field that stores credit card number.

Just want double check that i have got it right and that credit card details are used during online transaction only and not stored in the database.

 

thanks for help....

So oscommerce does not store the whole credit number in the database only parts of it is stored in the database.

 

Is this correct?

 

Is there any way to disable this so that it does not store any of the credit card number details in the database?

 

Thanks

Not without editing the code (where, of course, anything is possible). Some of the number will always be stored there. There is a field in the orders table to store the expiration date, called, of course, cc_expires!

Can't the number be used only during the transaction and not stored in the database?

 

Is this possible....?

 

If the number is stored in the database isn't there a security issue, i.e. what happens if someone (that is not suppose to have access to the database) manages to get access to the database...then they will have access to everyones credit number......

The default CC module does nothing but record part of the CC information. It does not transact your payments for you in any way. It is there to store the info and for you to get on the phone to your bank to make the transaction manually.

 

And no, the middle 8 numbers are not stored in the database, only the first 4 and the last 4. The middle 8 are emailed to you.

 

And if anybody gains access to your database, you will have more things to worry about.

I am not accustomed with worldpay but I am sure you can remove the default CC module in that case or in any case for that matter where you are not handling CC payments manually.

 

see the module as the default very basic CC handling module which you can discard like any other module.

O.K thanks for that info....does this mena i need to look at how the Worldpay module is working in terms of deal with credit card numbers, i.e. storing it the database or not. So is my case which is real-time online transactions i don't see point for storing in the database.....Would this be correct?

 

thanks

yes, simply download the worldpay module and read thru the documentation as to how it handles data.
