do you store cc numbers? Wouldn't that be an incredibly bad practise? I have worked on a number of ecommerce projects but none of them stored the credit card number. Ever. If you store card numbers in your database and your server gets cracked then the cracker can get all the card numbers. My legal knowledge is small but I'd have thought a system design like that would leave you open to criminal negligence suits. If you don't store the card numbers there is no exposure.
