In-house Credit Card Processing
May 02, 2007, 10:18:52 am
I have been reading the FAQ and Documentation and it doesn't clearly give me the answer I am looking for.

We already have in-house credit card processing through our local bank. 

1. Is it possible to have the credit card # and information sent to our accountant.

2. After they process the credit card, go back into CiviCRM and initiate the thank you/receipt for the donor?

Thanks for the help.

I assume your accountant is not real-time :)

Currently no, however you could potentially model it like PayPal standard if you have "secure" ways of transferring and storing the credit card on your accountant's machine

This will involve a fair amount of coding both at CiviCRM and on your accountants end that it probably is not worth it. Note that CiviCRM does NOT store credit cards in it db for security reasons (which makes this flow more difficult to implement)

Yeah I understand not storing and I agree.  The idea was have it emailed over to them and ideally have CiviCRM flag the persons email that it is pending processing or something like that.

I can see how this would be hard to code.

Thanks!

Note that email is not any more secure than vanilla http, i.e. sending credit cards via email is probably not a very smart thing to do

Most of the code on the civi end is there :) (since paypal standard operates in a similar way, but transfers the data to paypal servers over https). You'll have to build a "paypal-like" (but much simplified) structure to process and talk back to civicrm using the same protocol and parameters (which is quite a handful)

You could do something like provide the accountant's PGP/GPG key in the configuration stage...

then when an order comes in, encrypt the order email with the accountant's PGP/GPG key and send it out
