railer Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hi All, A quick question for those more experienced with OSCommerce... My client uses Authorize.net and PayPal for accepting credit card payments. I am wondering if OSCommerce is storing the credit card numbers? I DO NOT see anything credit card related fields in either the Customers or Orders records. Please confirm so that I can feel comfortable making the decision I need to make. Reason I ask, is I am considering moving this client from an expensive dedicated server to a virtual host box with a dedicated IP for a secure cert, but I don't want credit card info stored in a database on a shared box. Mainly, I want to switch because the dedicated box -- at my current host -- is configured such that it A) cannot be upgraded to be PCI compliant without incurring substantial cost, and B) the new, prospective host is really top-notch, keeps all LAMP software up-to-date with the most recent patches, and is quite a bit less expensive. Thanks in advance for your help, Railer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your help, Railer I think it's saved in the database. I read some forum-replies regarding this and (if I remember it right) mostly of the credit card information is saved encrypted in the database. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes they are I know this because I remove the info after a person makes a order just to make it more safe for them so there CC info is not in the DB Hope this helps Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
