Can OSc email me when a credit card order is placed?

[minuteman1970]

Prior to having an SSL OSc store, I had activated the "split credit card Email address", whereby it would email me the middle numbers of my customer's credit card. This also served as a means of giving me a head's up that a new order had come in. After setting up SSL, I deactivated the split CC feature. Now I don't get emails when a new order arrives. By the way, I intentionally don't have OSc send my CC info to Authorize.net, as I want to confirm stock prior to charging the customer.

Is there any way of setting up a order notification feature?

thanks.

Yes, in admin>configuration enter your email address in the box titled "Send extra order email to". This will send you a copy of the order summary email that is sent to the customer.

Regarding the way you are doing the credit cards now, I would recommend continueing to split the card information. SSL secures the customer connection with the server and your admin section. However it is still a violation of card company security policies to store complete card information on a computer that is connected to the Internet. If anyone ever hacks the server and takes complete card information from your database, you could be heavily fined (i.e. $20,000) and lose your merchant account. Something to think about.

Since sending ANY information like this through the e-mail is NOT secure, why is this even an option???

 

All anyone would have to do is hack your database and grab your e-mails, which isn't particularly easy, but, still, it's not anywhere near impossible.
