Credit Card Details to be Emailed

[Guest .Joel]

Hi All,

Just curious at this stage. Looking between oscommerce and cubecart for a project. Long story short it is a niche business that doesn't have huge turnover, only about 5 items a week online one would estimate. It is already an established brick and mortar business.

Anyway, the client would like the system to either email the credit card details to him, or be able to retrieve them somehow so they can manually enter it into their eftpos terminal in their shop to process the payment.

So when someone buys an item on the website, enters their CC details, the shop owners can then gain access to that information and key it into the terminal manually. Most purchases are done over the phone or via email at the moment.

What is the simplest and most effective way of achieving this ?

Regards,

.Joel

I use the built-in mals-e commerce mod to do just what your client wants. Mals secure server collects the card information - I just log in and process the cards manually. Mals accounts are free (or fee depending on if you want the more advanced features). Just set up an account at Mals and enter in the data in the cubecart mals module and you are done.

Emailing credit card details is a big no-no. Any problems will mean your client will get their merchant facility revoked.

A better solution is Mals, or there is a new 3rd Party commercial mod (on ccf.org), which has had good reports (although this is not free).

To accept CC details on the site, they'll need a SSL certificate on the store to ensure data sent between the browser and server is encrypted.

Mals will be free or low cost. If they want the customer to stay on their site, the 3rd party mod+SSL will be another solution.
