Recording type of credit card used?
October 11, 2011, 05:21:16 pm
I have had a request to create a custom report that includes a "group by" on the credit card type used for contributions. This is so the bookkeeper can see subtotals for Discover card, American Express, and Visa/MasterCard.    I was thinking of capturing this data whenever a credit card is processed, then storing it in a custom data field.

Has anyone tried this before? Will this change put the software in violation of PCI or other banking regulations?

Hi Sarah,

Just saw this and we have a similar need. Our accountants would like to be able to run a single aggregate report from Civi that includes the credit card type to match against the bank deposit coming from Authorize.net.

I am wondering what you ended up doing to accomplish this on your end, and if you could share?

The credit card type is not stored with the transaction, so you'd need to right a hook and store it on a custom data field as Sarah suggests.

This change by itself should not cause a PCI compliance issue, but PCI compliance is complicated and has many dependencies.
