Cheapest way to allow credit/debit payments

Hi,

A potential client has asked me to rebuild their current ecommerce website. The problem Im facing is that they need to take debit/credit card details, without actually accepting the payment directly. They have a chip & pin machine which they can enter the card details into and process the payments that way. How would I be able to do this? I would need to record customer's card number, expiry date and security code.

On their current website, they are using Mal's ecommerce shopping cart and they say this does the job for them..is there any way to integrate that with opencart?

I told them about payment gateways but they said they have already looked into this and they aren't pulling in enough money from their website at the moment to make a payment gateway worth paying for. I'm looking for the cheapest options available please.

Thanks for any help!

If you just want to take the payment card details you can use

thanks jay, that looks perfect!

is it 100% safe to use this method? Just incase hackers attempted to get information etc, i dont want lawsuits coming my way lol

If you take a look at the module, it allows you to split off the credit card number details, so half can be stored in the cart, and half is emailed to you, so that the hacker would need both parts to get the number. That's pretty much as safe as it can get to be honest

just been reading that, does sound like a safe way to do it. I'll propose it to them and see what they say..id be much happier doing it this way because I dont know mal's ecommerce at all.

Thanks alot
