How are credit cards stored?

    What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?
    Example: V4.2.3 developer

    What template are you using?
    Purple

    Please describe in detail the issue you are having:
    We are being asked to submit to PCI compliance, and I have not been able to find out how 68Classifieds stores credit card numbers, or if it does at all. And, if so, where are those stored and if the numbers are encrypted. If not, how is the data transmitted and stored? We use the Authorize.net gateway.
    Thanks.

    I will stand corrected but I did not think this information was stored at all. Check in your DB using phpAdmin

    If I could get direct confirmation of this and the methods used that would be very helpful.

    No credit cards are stored in the database.

    In a nutshell, CC information is supplied by the customer at your site and sent to Authorize.net (via cURL, using a SSL connection), processed by Authorize.net and the results of the transaction returned.
