Capture card method
Some people want to capture their own credit card numbers to run
through a terminal as a quick and easy way to get their online
store going. For this we provide Capture Card, however please be
aware that the fact that you are responsible for your customers
credit card details makes this far from simple and we strongly
advise using one of the online credit card processors unless you
are fully aware of all security issues involved.
You will need a SSL certificate installed, either your own or
shared from your host.
Please follow the capture
card wizard below for set up instructions

IMPORTANT NOTE
To reduce security risks set the automatic deleting of credit card information
to a workable minimum level - we would suggest that 2 days is more than ample
time. This setting can be found on the main admin page. You can also manually
delete the credit card information from your database by hitting the "delete" button. We
strongly advise that you delete the credit card information as quickly as possible
to reduce the security risks. It is also imperative
to keep up to date with the latest updaters which
are released at regular intervals.
Possible error messages
This page contains both secure and non secure items. Do
you want to display the nonsecure items?
Make sure all of the images used on the thanks.php and cart.php have been uploaded
to the secure server
Troubleshooting checklist
I can get a card to process on the secure server I've
established. When I try to read the number by accessing the control
panel, I get an error message that says "You appear not
to be on a https server..."
There seems to be some hosts which use some kind of proxy system for shared
SSL space, and that confuses the checks for server SSL. If you are absolutely sure
that you are on a secure server, then set
$nochecksslserver=TRUE;
...in your vsadmin/includes.php file.
I don't receive the credit card details in my confirmation
email but can view them through the control panel
Credit card numbers are not sent via email for security reasons - they can
only be viewed over a secure connection in your admin orders page.
I can't see the credit card details in the orders admin
page
Make sure you are viewing the orders page over a secure https connection.
