We have released a very useful application that I feel anyone could benefit from. With version 1.3 the credit cards are all masked, there is no way around this. They are also deleted from the batch table after the settlement so they cannot be retrieved at a future time. Before version 1.2 if there was a problem settling the batch you could just change the status in the visanetauthorization table and re-batch, this is not possible with version 1.3. If this ever happens with the new version you have to call the bank and they hopefully have the credit card number, you then have to re-ring in a transaction in order to process the card again,
After seeing the pains and lost money due to this new "feature" in 1.3 we have developed an application called "Card Vault". "Card Vault" is an add-on to RMS which captures the credit card and expiration numbers from a credit card transaction and stores them into a new table. The card numbers are encrypted when stored and can only be read using "Card Vault". Once the number is stored is can be recalled and displayed or it can be pushed back into the current batch to be reprocessed on the next settlement. No more lost money, no more hassle trying to recover credit card numbers.
