I was wondering what are the best practices for credit card processing over
the web. Should you pre-authorize a customer's card during check out and
then run a batch transaction at the end of the day? Or should you run the
card as a final sale and gather the funds immediately. Just as I have heard
people doing it both ways and I am in the process of converting my cart over
to an automatic Card processor API.
What are the pros and cons of both...
Also I have noticed that many shopping carts store their Credit card info in
the database. I have a little utility (MS Access) that transfers the
customer's info to my system at home and then deletes all credit card info.
This usually runs twice a day. Is there a better way to keep the card info
secure?
Thanks
