Saved Credit Cards

Important! Saving customer card data is discouraged unless absolutely necessary. Even though the data is encrypted, being in possession of the data increases your security risk. If you save customer credit card numbers online, your store will be out of compliance with Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements. As an alternative, consider using a payment method that provides a secure vault for saving customer credit card information.

This option gives you the ability store credit card numbers to process offline. This method is useful when you have a card terminal in a “brick and mortar” store, or have access to a virtual terminal. As with all online payment methods, it is highly recommended that you configure an SSL certificate for your store.

To set up the Saved Credit Cards:

1.

On the Admin menu, select System > Configuration. Then in the panel on the left under Sales, select Payment Methods.

4.

5.

If you subscribe to 3D Secure Card Validation, do the following:

a.

To activate the service, set 3D Secure Card Validation to "Yes."
