Storing credit card numbers with Ubercart?Storing credit card numbers with Ubercart?

This was a client request.
Answer: No.
I spoke with the developer of Ubercart during the Drupal conference we attended last week.
He said there are better, and legal, solutions as an alternative to what was discussed on this thread, and don't work the same way now anyway:
http://www.ubercart.org/forum/support/7976/using_credit_card_payment_debug_mode_card_data_storage
Authorize.net
Cybersource
Paypal
all offer storage of credit cards securely on their servers and Ubercart has integration for repurchases and subscription payments. To legally store credit card numbers on your servers requires clearing a long list of requirements.
Resolution
More like this
- Store credit card type, automatically determined from credit card number, for Ubercart
- DrupalConDC Ubercart tip: use PHP form to do custom functionality, but embed later
- Floating point number with Drupal's db_query
- Importing a large number of Taxonomy terms (Gene Ontology) regularly
- Change the number of columns in a grid view

A lot of clients want this
A lot of clients want this functionality and don't understand why it's not there.
"After all, we store credit cards in X spreadsheet or Y website already!"
They do not realize that storing CC #'s, along with the expiration, CSV and billing address in these ways is a big no no. You can quickly tell them the security agreements they are breaking with their merchant service provider and the fines that they could face. This will help them to understand how serious the matter is.
