CVV

Hi

 

Um I am new here, but I have been playing around with osC for about a month now, developing it for use as an online sports retail store.

 

Since I started developing the store, I have become aware of new legislation affecting online shops in the UK. The first is the use of cookies and the privacy policy of any website which uses cookies.

 

I have noticed that osC uses cookies to store data, from January in the UK, any website that wishes to use cookies must address so in some form, asking the user to either say yes i accept or no. My first question is whether osC can work witout having to use cookies?

 

My second concerns the linking matter of cookies with Credit Card Verification & Validation. Banks in the UK now want the following information to process transactions: Name, CC number, start date, expiry date, CVV(2) number and if applicable issue number.

 

From what I have seen osC currently only has name, CC number and expiry date. However I have come across some contributions for MS1 and a couple supposedly for MS2. I have had no luck with either of these. This has lead me to believe I must either look for another online shop application (I have been looking around, and found none which compare to osC, which I would really like to use). I am also learning PHP, so I may be able to write my own little script.

 

My proposal (or rather query - I was slightly unclear on where I should post this) is that will the next version or update of osC have featuers that do not have to use cookies and will it include the extra (now required by most banks, in the UK) credit card information: CC number, name, start & expiry date, CVV(2) number.

 

I am not saying the issues that I have stated only affect the UK, but I'm sure other countries around the world must be also be experiencing similar issues.

 

If there is a working contribution out there that works on MS2 covering the Credit Card info, please could someone tell me where it is. (I have searched and found some but they were no use).

 

Thank you

in the admin section you can disable cookies.

for the cc info, you can add the other info you want pretty easily.

Thanks, something I forgot to mention was that credit card type would also be needed, some sort of drop down menu. How would I go about doing something like that in PHP as I am not all to sure.

 

My only other concerns are surrounding validation checks for different types of credit card. Is there anywhere where I can find out what present credit cards numbers have to include eg. certain numbers in the correct place.

 

Plus does anyone have a script which checks the validity of cards and another example is how would you make sure that a user put in their start date in the future by accident.
