    Hello community,

    Should I store CC numbers on my database?

    I am about 80% done developing a shopping cart, as of right know I am in the process to integrate the payment gateway, but I am not sure if to store CC numbers in the database.

    I lack experience, This is my first time integrating a payment gateway.

    I will appreciate a piece of advise from experienced people in the field.

    Thank You
    Angel Cool

    PS: The link for my cart is as follows:

    Please note it is still under development.

    I am pretty sure the PCI DSS Standard will lead you on a safe implementation at least on those points you can influence your own (depends on the environment you are dealing with).
