Storage of Credit Card Information

Hi,

This is my first support question after putting my shop online and processing 10-15 orders (I wish to highlight the quality of the Hikashop, good documentation and the responsive forum).

I have eSelect Plus payment gateway configured with AIM method of Authorize.net payment plugin. It works perfect.

Query 1: Do we store full credit card number in the website database? Is there any way one can know the credit card number of any customer? I got confused because of this post: www.hikashop.com/en/forum/4-how-to/61038...on-solved.html#61038

My second query is: can we mask the CVV or verification code (3-4 digits at the back of the card) with asterisks /other symbol? My site displays the number when entered. Is this number saved in the database?

Thanks in advance,

Sarang.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the quick response.
