PFMaBiSmAd Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 For what purpose are you storing credit card numbers? Your credit card merchant account agreement will specify when, where, and how you can store credit card numbers without violating your agreement with your credit card processor.

guyfromfl Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Its stored to keep down on data entry. my code doesn't process any transactions other than when you want to order something for say...Ken Smith, its already on file. After the order is taken the shipping department completes the order with a swipe machine.
