CC Details Not Available for Offline CC Processing


mikelegg

Recommended Posts

I'm currently using offine credit card processing and I'm having a problem because if users select the "Tick this box if you do NOT want us to store your credit card details for recurring billing" checkbox their CC details are not being stored therefore I can't process the payment.

 

Is there a way to remove this checkbox from the order form?

 

If you do offline CC processing you HAVE to store the CC details - it's not optional.

My point is that if they click that box they might as well have not wasted their time entering their credit card details in the first place because they will be completely ignored.

 

So I might as well remove credit card as a payment option altogether as it just creates double work as I have to contact the clients to obtain the information that they think they've already given me.

 

The issue will be moot for me shortly as I have signed up for an eWay account, but anyone else who uses offline CC processing will face the same problem.

mikelegg,

 

Look at the "Allow Customers CC Delete" option under General Settings | Security.

 

If you untick this option the client isn't given the option to remove the details.

 

Also, good choice with eWay. We've using it for a year now after changing from manual (EFTPOS terminal) processing. Their system works great.

 

Not if your client doesn't want you to store them.
The offline method doesn't have to appear as "Offline" processing to the client on the order form - it can be named to appear as "credit card". If a client isn't comfortable providing credit card details online, for whatever reason, then they can use an alternative method. The OP asked a specific question on how to remove the check box, and not a general discussion on business methodology and practices.

Thanks Damo

 

I didn't realise the "Allow Customers CC Delete" worked that way - I thought it just controlled whether or not they could delete the CC details via the Client Area.
