Well we had a fork in the conversation just now:
If you enter a CC in a customer account in Plat, then it's stored in
your local MS SQL database; optionally with encryption if you configured
the encryption.
Anything modern is tokenizing and storing the token instead.
I understand your statement that you don't care either way because you
won't store CC numbers, but you might be crazy. Some customers will
want autopay, and if they *want* you to whack their card every month
then I think you should. But I know you're a big boy and you make your
own choices.

But if you never enter a CC card into plat, and the actual payment
transaction is done by IPPay, why would plat store a card number. I
am not doing a recurring billing. They have to pay manually each
month, at least for now.

I wouldn't count on it. Most of the systems do this now (tokenize with
the processor and just store a token and last 4 to show the customer)
to take away your liability, but every instance of Plat I've seen has
credit cards in the DB.

IIRC, once you entered a CC into the enterprise version of QB,
the CC number went under control of Intuit in their cloud. You
could no longer access it, except to update it to a new card, and
then it "disappeared" again.

Platypus passes PCI compliance and stores credit card
information in an encrypted form when configured to do so. If
you have an old install where your credit card information was
not encrypted by default, you can encrypt it by going to the
Maintenance Menu and choosing Encryption Manager.

I'd be careful of Plat if you want PCI compliance. In the
systems I've seen even within the last few months, they are
still storing credit cards in plain text in the DB.

I think Platypus is still free up to a certain number of
active customers.

We have exhausted all of our appeals, the only thing they
will tell us is that they don’t approve of our “products”.
AKA internet service and that they are happy for us to be a
QB customer...
So, gonna get a stand alone billing system and just do a
monthly journal entry to move over the revenue.
Something cheap with the ability for the customer to pay
with cards. Anything free out there that makes their money
from the merchant percentage? I guess I don’t care if it
is free, just the lowest overall cost to the company.
Was platypus free? Used it for years at another company.
I don’t need any management of my network just simple
recurring billing.
