Responsible Handling of Billing Information?

Posted by Cliff on from the security-imperative-solutions dept.

moving on asks: "I've been asked by a client to build a fee based subscription service using surepay as the vendor for processing credit card transactions. Subscribers to the service will be billed X amount per month and that is the rub. Surepay does not offer recurring billing so I will need to store credit card numbers and related info. The question is then, how does one best do this in the most responsible manner?" The trick here is giving consumers the service they have come to expect from most websites, without exposing their personal information to would-be thieves. Do you think such a system is possible?

    A site owned by VA Systems is not equpped to handle questions about billing, as they have no billing to handle.

    hmm, getting a credit card billed monthly sure sounds like most porn sites I've been a member at, err, it sounds like most porn sites I've read about on /.

    They should have used Win2K. That way they could have skipped all the 'extremely limited connectivity' and Zip drive crap. Win2K is the Fort Knox of operating systems and could have been connected directly to the internet without any fear of hackers.
