Hamidakhanam,
If you want to save credit card information, you'll have to follow the standards the industry sets forward, or no vendor (payment processor) will do business with you. That is called Payment Card Industry (PCI) The
Wikipedia[
^] has a great starter article on it, but I recommend going straight to a source like
the official PCI standards website[
^]. They will tell you what you can and can't do in terms of storage of credit card numbers.
The other alternative is to work directly with a third party credit card processor and following their rules/suggestions. They will be the person you will have to please as they won't do business with you if you are not compliant.
Hope this helps!
