Firstly I hope i am in the correct thread,
I was wondering would this be possible, To create a submission form on a web page to gather a customers card details, and then when they press submit the information is faxed to a fax machine ?
To me the information travels not by email, and is not stored on a computer as an e mail, and is only available in a hard copy, so there is little security risk.
How secure would you feel this is ??
I have a physical terminal, so i thought if i could do something like this, i would not need a payment gateway, which is about 270 - 450 euros per year,
Other than that i would use pay pal, but as i provide accommodation in a guest house and Holiday Homes, i need a credit card number as a hold over clients in case they do not arrive / damage something etc.
If i use pay pal or a payment gateway, i never see the customers card details, so i have a problem, as i have no comeback over the guy who pays a booking deposit and does not turn up.
Just wondering did any one ever see this done before, and how logical / ethical is something like this ??
Thanks for the advice, and if you have to move this post to the correct location my apologies
