If you are using manual credit card -method you are storing the credit-card information in the data-base (and you are not paid !!)

You need a third party payment gateway, like Paypal, Stripe, etc. All these methods allows you to get paid without storing the cc-numbers. They are using different techniques to create a token and store this instead of sensible cc-information.

That, and you're in for a whole pile of regulations and liability if you choose to store the CC # yourself.

Definitely use an external payment processor if you can.

I am using the built in Authorize.net plugin for processing payments.  Just to be clear. I do NOT want to store the credit cards... EVER.  That's why I got a little freaked out when I saw that the entire credit card was visible in the order details.  How can I have it NOT store the CC#'s?  Do I have to use a different payment gateway plugin (not the built in authorize.net)?  Thank you for your help.

Have you completely disabled the Manual Payment, and any other payment plug-ins you're not using?

From the Admin page, go to Configuration->Payment->Payment Methods to see what's active/inactive. To Deactivate, click "Edit".

I thought I did... but maybe not.  So if I understand this correctly, you believe this may be the result of nop trying to use a manual payment process?

Try disabling it per my instructions and find out. :)

Basically if you tell Nop you want to do manual payments then it will need to store the card.

on the other side when you are registred at authorize.net, you must see the paid amount in your account/demo-account

I will do so.  I'm setting up my new server now (no more running in visual studio).  I will try this out tomorrow.  I appreciate the help.

Which was the other strange part... I never got an error, but it never moved beyond pending... and no monies were transferred.

Well, that may have been the issue.  I have made sure that the authorize.net payment plugin was the only one enabled.  No full CC# showing, and it even worked with my eprocessingnetwork.com payment gateway after I adjusted the URL.  Perfect!  Thank you for your help.
