Remove card issue number

I searched and couldn't fine an answer. I only sell in the US and wanted to the remove card issue number field from the check out page. If I remove the line for the card issue number in my language file will it mess up the check out process. Is there a better way of removing that line in the checkout page.

Thanks,
Geoff

I would like to remove the "card issue number" line at the checkout page.

for which payment?

Im guessing all debit cards, as they tend to be the only ones that have issue numbers (in the uk anyway)

EDIT: oh i see what you mean, which payment processer

I'm using paypal pro

While this reply is rather late..it is still an issue that has not fully been answered that I could find. Here is what works perfectly for me:

I am hiding BOTH Credit Card issue Date AND Maestro / Solo card issue number fields from Checkout. Edit the pp_pro.tpl file in: /catalog/view/theme/default/template/payment/

FIND AND EDIT FROM:
<tr>
<td><?php echo $entry_cc_start_date; ?></td>
TO:
<tr style="display: none;">
<td><?php echo $entry_cc_start_date; ?></td>

To ditch START DATE, and edit...

AND FROM:
<tr>
<td><?php echo $entry_cc_issue; ?></td>
TO:
<tr style="display: none;">
<td><?php echo $entry_cc_issue; ?></td>

to ditch Maestro /Solo issue Nonsense.

It actually leaves the code intact and functional but simply blocks it from being displayed..therefore easily revertible if ever wanting to.

This worked great. Thanks for your help (I know I wasn't the original poster but this worked for me.).
