[Request] authorize.net Customer Information Manager (CIM) Service

[weaklinks]

Hi Guys ,

 

I have been planning to move from Clientexec its limitation the past year(s) has been hitting my pockets bigtime . They are very secure and works but WHCMS prevails but I have you cannot compare security that's a huge negative

I do have concerns about WHCMS and might have a solution .

 

autherize.net now offers this service where they store credit card information on their system that's great because now ownership is on them to protecting your customers data one huge weight lifted from us holding that data on our web servers. I would love to know if WHCMS supports this type of service ? or maybe plans for it.

Info about this service.

 

Authorize.Net’s Customer Information Manager (CIM) allows you to store your customers’ sensitive payment information on our secure servers for use in future transactions. CIM helps eliminate steps in the checkout process for repeat customers, potentially increasing loyalty and revenue. It can also help you comply with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, since customer information is no longer stored on your local servers.

 

By providing quick access to stored information, CIM is an ideal tool for companies that:

 

Process recurring transactions where the date and/or amount is different each month (i.e. utility companies, etc.)

Process usage charges – where you only bill when the service is used. (i.e. pay-as-you-go cell phones, etc.)

Are concerned with PCI compliance

Want to provide returning customers with the convenience of not re-entering personal data

 

How CIM Works

Your Web site integrates to CIM via an Application Programming Interface (API). Through the API, you can create, view, update and delete customer profiles that include billing, payment and shipping information. When a transaction is processed, a customer profile is created and stored on our secure servers. You receive a Customer Reference ID for that particular customer profile. From then on, you need only submit the Customer Reference ID in place of all customer information, including billing, payment and shipping information.
