Now I've missed this whole thread, but I definately agree that storing card numbers should be avoided at all costs...especially now that cc processors have services like recurring billing. On the 1st purchase you setup a recurring billing record with the processor (on the fly) and they give you their "customer number" which you store INSTEAD OF the cc number. Next time that customer buys something you can pass the customer number to the cc processor and they bill the correct card. All that and YOU are not holding the liability that comes with storing cc numbers. ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
