process credit cards manually

Is it possible to have the credit card (or part of it) emailed to us manually? I know that in some software half of the credit card will be stored in a database, and the other half emailed. Is it possible to do this with the free (or paid) versions?

Thanks,

Mark

IMHO, this would be a good addition to Hikashop. In Australia in particular, the merchant banks charge premium fees for online processing to counter the risks they associate with internet transactions. And the first question all of them will ask is whether your online system stores the cc number.

I run several Zen Cart shops that get around the problem by collecting the cc detail and then splitting the number into two parts. It sends the first and last 4 numbers to the store owner in one email, and the middle numbers in another email - or you can login to admin to get the middle numbers. The cc number is therefore not stored. It works very well for people who are integrating their online stores into a traditional business with an existing in-store merchant facility, and don't want to pay higher bank fees whilst they get their online stores humming along. Also, some don't want the expense of an SSL Certificate. Using PayPal is superb but their fees are high (or perceived so) especially for smaller or newer stores.

Virtuemart offers a Payment Processor for Eway which all Australian Banks and Amex ascribe to - this is about the only good thing I can say about Virtuemart!

With both Zen and VM, there is an ability to setup a cc facility directly between the store and the merchant bank. Some banks host the payment processor pages for the store (like PayPal) so everything to do with the payment is secure. NAB is a very good example and no SSL is required. Others, such as ANZ, provide the ability to link directly without them hosting the payment page but an SSL is required.

HikaShop is a tremendous leap forward for ecommerce integration into Joomla and I hope that future versions include such processors.

Just my 2 cents....

cheers!

That's great Nicolas and the short term solution would just about kill Zen Cart for me!

Also, please don't forget to add collection of the cc's CCV - the Australian Banks have a good reputation for security but some still rely on the old "see the card & verify the signature" process, or at least get the CCV if you don't! (their proxy for proof that the cc user actually has the card which IMO is fundamentally archaic)

In Oz we still have a bit of banking catch to do.

Keep up the good work,

cheers

yes! the short term solution would be great for me as well!

Hi, I have installed this new version, and can see the last 8 numbers in the email that I receive, but cannot find the first 8 numbers anywhere? Also, does it not verify that the credit card is a valid number (and not expired) ?

I do not see a history zone on the order details page. I only see what is in the attached image...

It works now. Thanks for the extremely quick help/replies!

I am new to HikaShop and wanted to know how the credit card details is actually processed. Once a user clicks submit, do the details get sent to a Joomla! database? Also, is there anyway to change this as I don't wish to store the information on the site. Or is this what was just discussed?

Thanks!

A good enhancement to this would be to allow the input of a generic number (such as 1111222233334444) to acheive "sandbox" testing of the function. Can you explain how the cc number is validated as I have found that putting in anything other than an ACTUAL valid CC number produces an error? Very cool, but need something for testing purposes.

However,after entering the credit card details and hitting Next on the payment page:

the Card Owners name is truncated to the first 4 letters
the card number shows only 15 numbers of the 16 digit number (the first 11 are X which is good), it should really show 16 digits with the first say 12 X'd out otherwise the buyer may get confused
But, most importantly, hitting the “next” button goes nowhere and there is no error message.

Thanks for the tips on the credit card numbers - that's extremely useful

On the checkout not progressing I have checked the template and found the correct reference to <jdoc:include type="message" /> so that looks okay. It's an Artisteer template and it includes the reference correctly.

I have sent you a mail with the URL to my site - it is still in development and I don't want it on the forum.

Could you check it out for me?

Thanks!

I've just setup the Credit Card payment option.
I have paypal (of which I receive an email from Hika saying someone has placed an order_)
I have Bank Deposit (which I still DON'T receive an email from Hika saying anything, even tho the order is recorded in Sales)
I now have Credit Card, and still I don't receive an email from Hika when order is placed.

Also, I go into the Sale, and I have the History plugin there, but under the column of information I do NOT get any credit card details, but just this long line:
Tzo4OiJzdGRDbGFzcyI6Mzp7czo5OiJjY19udW1iZXIiO3M6ODoiNDQzNDYwMDAiO3M6ODoiY2NfbW9udGgiO3M6MjoiMDUiO3M6NzoiY2NfeWVhciI7czoyOiIxMiI7fQ==

So, my issue is still, no email for Bank Deposit, and no email for Credit Card - and no credit card number .... won't make much money this way ...

On a side note: the text under the payment screen, which changes when you change payment method, and click next ... it says "you have chosen to pay Paypal", ... how can I change the css (it's using the default templates standard body text) , to make it STAND OUT more (like in red and bold), so it doesn't seem like you've gone nowhere, and have to click Next again.
