No that I've ever heard of....same as telling someone your CC num over the phone...anybody could be listening in (or picking up the fax if in an office environment) ;-)
If simple is the name of the game... 1) stick order in DB using SSL 2) send client and e-mail with a link or a text message that a new order has been placed 3) client logs into simple backend to retrieve order details over SSL This way the CC num is always transmitted securely. The BIG problem with this simple process is that CC numbers would be stored in the DB (even if only temporarily)....and that's just plain bad IMHO. The cc companies would also love to get their hands on it and perform a rather expensive security audit to varify you are doing things correctly) Sounds like someone doesn't want to pay for a "real" system and doesn't care about client cc number protection...bad client...BAD ;-) HTH Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
