AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

My client doesn't like the default 60 (or is it 30?) day storage for credit card numbers. He wants it increased to a year or more. I've looked over some of the PCI stuff and don't see that it's a problem (at least as far as compliance goes). I've told him that I don't think it's a good idea but, obviously, Amazon stores CC numbers basically forever and they're certainly at a higher certification requirement than my client.

Any advice/guidance?

I think its 30 days total? or 30 days from last order? 6 months from last order sounds like a good max.
But amazon, newegg and paypal do keep your credit card on file for a long time.

There is some great info there, and it is not an issue from anything that I see.

Yes I agree, I think you should stick with 6 months as a maximum mark to be on the safe side. You can advise your client on why this is the case if you like. Hope that helps.

I read a bit more on this and it seems that you don't necessarily need to stick with the 6 month benchmark. I am not 100% sure though.
