Guest Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I have done a search on all the topics to do with Emailing Payment and Credit Card Details but have been turning up nothing. Basically when customer comes to checkout, they are comfronted with somthing similer to Order Form, they fill out details and form is sent by email to client. Can't find anything so far. This is getting really frustrating. There must be away of having this option. Such a basic option that I am amazed it is not included. Any help please!!!

Guest itrends Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 This is unsecure and wont be an option. Sending credit card details by email is a BIG no no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is very unsecure to do this, but I have heard of encrypted methods. Are there any modules available? This is all the client wants, and he isn't backing down on this. He has been using this method for years on the existing site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest itrends Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 No there are no mods that I know of. The best thing you can do is get the credit card number to show in full in the admin then he can log in to view. He has to process the orders anyway. Finally, it is illegal to store the CVV number of the card. Just FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when they come to gateway, a form is sent with the customers name or ID. So the client just has to look up his info then on the other side. That seems a good way but how to implement that? I can't see any options for storing CC details in admin? And then what do we do about the CVV number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest itrends Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 This is why these days you have to use a payment gate way provider to verify the payment and not store the card details, or you use a postal order form etc. Can't give you much more info than that. :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help iTrends. Actually downloaded a 'third party mod' that sends the CC details to the admin. This is fine and definitely more secure. Thanks again ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you post a link to this third party mod. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Hi Well because of the rules of the forum I can't 'mention' the mod or put a link to it. Just type in Cubecart Modules in Google and it is usually the first one. Look for Payments Mods and then Manual Credit Card Module. Basically it sends the CC details to the Admin instead of sending an Email, which is really much better after trying it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brivtech Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Have you lot considered the mals-e payment gateway that comes with CC? It has a facility that securely collects customer credit card information, and lets you securely retrieve it afterwards when you're processing the order. Also, this facility is free.

citabriabob Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Dear Brivtech: I have to respectfully question the choice of E-Mals; as far as I can see, the security difference between E-Mals and a well-designed manual payment form is whose server the details land on. From my perspective, I think I have better control over my (hosted) server than E-Mals' and probably make a much smaller target as well by the ne'er-do-wells. Another downside is that E-Mals transaction takes you off my domain and may be confusing to the buyer. My business plan relies on manually adjusted final pricing, so the manual method is a pre-requisite. I know I have bought this up before, so please bear with me as I try to understand all the options. I have been holding off CC implementation because of this issue even though I know there is a mod. I am hopeful 3.1 will include this option and obviate the need for modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Personally, I have been using Mals-e for more than 8 years over about 20 different stores and with 3 companies and have never had an issue. They take a lot more steps to hacker-proof their servers than you and I could dream of. Several hosting companies I've used have had hacker attacks over the years, but Mals never has. So unless you are going to thoroughly safeguard your servers, I would rather let the liability rest with Mals if there is ever a problem.

Guest gwizard Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I would have to agree with citabriabob on this. Large sites such as Mals-e bring up much more attention then a small time store where nobody cares about it. More then that, "various third party mods" (which I happen to be the writer of) erases the credit details after the transaction has been concluded thus eliminating the possibility of theft altogether. I highly suspect that Mals-e does not do this. Mysty, you mentioned liability..... Do you honestly think that if Mals-e will get hacked you will receive reimbursement ?! Unless you have a third party legal insurance the only thing you will receive are lawsuits from your clients because you probably never specified in your store terms that you hold no liability in case of card thefts. I assure you that Mals-e had. Just something to consider.... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
