My Client has always simply gathered CC numbers from the web site and processed them herself through her bank. While osCommerce does have one cc payment module that gathers that information and splits the number, sending part of the cc# to her and allowing her to go to the site and get the rest, it is "not for production use". I have looked through the payment modules and can't seem to find one that just gathers credit card numbers with the order so my client can get them and process the orders through her bank. I found a mention of a ccpayment.php, but can't seem to find it anyplace.
Does anybody have any ideas or know of a module that might work for this without jeopardizing security, just a simple credit card payment module like the one offered that is "not for production use"?
Thank you for any help.
Regards,
Frank

Collecting cc info for processing off-line is not a good idea.

Read up on PCI compliance

"Non-compliant companies who maintain a relationship with one or more of the card brands, either directly or through an acquirer risk losing their ability to process credit card payments and being audited and/or fined. "

So, you are saying that she use a gateway, rather than doing business the way she has been doing it for the last 10 years? She has a merchant account with her bank that allows her to process these cards.

If the site handle CC #'s it must be PCI compliant or someone's a$$ can end up in the sling...

and if you are an IT consultant and let her do it/set it up for her and her site is not PCI compliant I guess she could claim off you/ your professional indemnity insurance when it all goes belly up.

OK. I understand. In the old store, not data was not stored on the site. It was sent directly to her via encrypted email. Is that acceptatable and, if so, is there a contrib which will accomplish this?

I'm no authority on the subject, but offhand I'd say probably not.

Email is about as secure as a screendoor on a submarine, and anything that is encrypted can be unencrypted (given enough time and the right tools).

You should investigate this further (try the link I posted).
