Have them not touch the CC#. Leave that last part of the funnel to some certified external. You'd also make them a big service. I simply abandon most carts if the CC entry stage is still on the merchant site and not on someone's big and recognized like PayPal, and I hate PayPal. I just don't trust the little, unknown, guys with CC# & details.



While your concerns are warranted - we've taken over some terrifying projects and cleaned them up in a hurry - I've never been that paranoid about it.


I didn't use to be. Then I had a problem and my bank took 2 months and almost 10 phone calls to fix it. Then I became a little paranoid.


I'm never very bothered handing out my CC details. It's not like I'm liable for anything that happens with it, and when shopping online I generally just the one-time use numbers that all of my credit cards offer. Really, the worst that can generally happen is that I have to get a new CC #.
