Save cards to Stripe, but remove customer card management?

  • Hey touchscreendoc,

    I’m sure you could write some custom functionality to prevent the cards saving functionality from working on your site but still store the card in Stripe (actually Stripe may always store CCs to be reused) – but can I ask why?

    Keep in mind none of our extensions save credit card numbers. We save tokens that only your Stripe account can use. So even if someone stole your data they couldn’t get the CC numbers or use your token.

    If you’d like to know more about credit card tokens and how they work I wrote up a post about it: https://speakinginbytes.com/2014/02/credit-card-tokenization/

    It’s not really a security concern, although some customers may think it is because it’s ‘saving’ their CC#’s, but mainly I don’t want to add extra functionality for something that my customers won’t likely use. If anything it just adds extra buttons and steps that could potentially confuse some of my customers.

    I don’t believe Stripe saves the CC details, at least I haven’t seen where it would. I don’t use the Stripe checkout option with this plugin, just the regular CC checkout.
