Hi All,

Our customers are going to buy our product using Credit Cards and we have to bill them recurringly. Can I store the credit card numbers? I found somewhere that storing Credit Card numbers illegal. Recently I tried purchasing a product from India and that company allows purchases only from US IP's and so they called me and later I have to purchase it in USA. Afterwards I can make transactions with them from anywhere as they do not have restrictions expect on first purchase. So what I want to know is where they are storing the credit card numbers?

My requirement is similar to what I faced above, I want to allow only purchases from US. Users will be signing up and we have to validate them first time (if needed manually) and later they do not have any restriction. Users should also be able to check their prvevious purchases. I needing a billing solution doing this with recurring billing. Solution should be in JSP preferably as we have to integrate with JSP pages.

Please let me know your valuable suggestions and recommendations by posting them here.

Thanks,
Chris.

technically yes, you can store cc #s but you can never store cvv which is 100% illegal (though, you hardly need cvv at all for successul transaction procession). the only thing - once you store credit card numbers do make sure you store them securely.

i believe this is not bank's limitation but technical one. they see what IP you use and if they see its not US one they suspect a fraud. that's why they called you, got sure that you want this txn, and had put your credit card and/or IP to "white list".

Thanks, the above link answered my first question.

I still need help on this.
