Question about authorize.net and PCI

[Scott.]

Hello all,

We are very close to finalizing our method of credit card processing within ofbiz and of course, PCI compliance is taking a front seat. We will be using authorize.net as our gateway and they several different methods with regards to integration. The easy thing would be to use the current supported method but my preference would be to not store credit card info at all.

They are the Simple Checkout, Server Integration Method (SIM) and the Advanced Integration Method (AIM). I believe that ofbiz natively supports AIM. The main difference between the three is that from a PCI standpoint the simple and the SIM method store the credit card data on the Authorize.Net PCI-compliant servers thus eliminate the PCI compliance for our company. If I am correct, the SIM method keeps your checkout pages looking the way they were designed and being able to use the native ofbiz to actually charge authorizations, etc.

Has anyone implemented this with ofbiz successfully? How much trouble will be to modify the ofbiz payment services not to store/read any sensitive credit card information.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I'm not sure about your specific needs here being provided OOTB, but  
we recently added the ability to clean out the actual credit card  
information.  I think that Scott did this at the product store level  
and we're using Authorize.net in this capacity.  Sorry, I can't  
remember the flag off the top of my head - but I know that it was  
around June of this year.

Cheers,
Ruppert

in a nut shell if you through ofbiz collect a CC # you are under PCI.
the only way is to send the customer to a site that handles CC and all
ofbiz does is store the authorization code.
I use Paypal that way.
Paypal also lets you style you payment page on there site.
it is transparent to the customer.

Several payment gateways now offer services to store credit card and other customer information. To my knowledge none of the gateway implementations in OFBiz take advantage of this service.
