AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

Hello,

My company has setup all the necessary parts to make the shopping cart work with shipping info and payment gateways. The only problem is when we us a credit card to purchase an order Able stores the credit card number and exp date in the ac_Payments table in the column EncryptedAccountData.

If this column says “Encrypted” why is it clear as day what the card information is? Is this a setting in the site or do we have to add code to actually encrypt this data?

Thanks,
Derek

Make sure the Enable Credit Card Storage checkbox is checked in Configure > Security > General page on admin side.

Ahh! Great, didn't see that setting before.

Thanks for helping.

Was that actually the answer? If I am reading this right, you are asking why the Encrypted... field has plain text? In that event, it means you have not yet set an encryption key. Configure -> Security -> Encryption Key is the place to get that taken care of.

Well, although the original question was about the Encryption. Not saving the credit card information is even better.

BUT knowing that is how to make it encrypted is also a great thing to know.

Thanks for the help .
