Using a CC one time


rbro

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to pay off an invoice with a cc and not store it for the client? I have a client who is really paranoid about identity theft and does not want to keep his card on record with us, but would like to be able to login when his invoice is due and manually pay it by cc. Modernbill allows this I believe...

but there is no option to say "do not store my credit card information"

 

If they don't already have a credit card on file it will store the credit card info they enter. How can I give them an option?

 

Also, there is no way to delete the credit card info in the admin area.

I requested this same feature, but so far I've got nothing for it.

 

The solution told to me was to manually switch that client to paypal after they pay (my problem was that I didn't want a client's card charged automatically when I created an invoice). I don't know if this would fix the stored CC issue or not, though....

Guys, yes, this is trivially possible, at least in my version of WHMCS, unless my rabies is causing me to miss something. (must be more careful what bites me!)

 

Enter the credit card number, pay the invoice, then go into the credit card entry pane and click "Clear Details". Couldn't be easier! :)

Won't an automatic charge attempt to be done for the next invoice on due date with blank details occur with this method?

I think it would; however, since there were no card details there would be no actual charge attempt made. The customer would receive a "Payment Failed" email though.

 

This comes down to a deficiency (IMO) in the way WHMCS handles credit cards - instead of a 'payment failed' email the customer should get a "credit card details needed" or "payment overdue - credit card details not on file" or something like that.

 

For now, my solution has been to change the language in the "payment failed" (template 'Credit Card Payment Failed') to be:

 

This is a quick notice to let you know that you have an invoice overdue for payment with us. Your account is set to be paid by credit card. If we have your card on file, we will have just tried your card and found that the transaction failed. If we don't have your card on file, this notice is being sent to remind you.
That tells the customer we may not have billed their card, but it would be nice if it told them as well whether we actually had valid card details on file.

Where is the feature for a client to delete their credit card details. I have many clients who do not want their information stored. They actually feel more comfortable doing a one time payment or deleting it themselves, thanks for any assistance.

Another temporary solution is to change the expiry date :)

 

An attempt will be made against the CC but the transaction will fail, as the expiry date would be incorrect.

 

It doesn't however, remove the CC details from the database... if that is what the customer really wanted to do.

 

 

I suppose a simple little script to REMOVE the CC details from the database could be done.

 

Cheers,

Paul

To delete the details, I believe they need to request you to do so. They can edit the card any time they like, even to a "foo" card (for Visa, it's 4, followed by 15 1's).

 

And how do I delete the card? How do I request items for the next version. One time entries or the client being able to go back in and delete is important to a lot of clients.
