How to remove "credit card (save)" Payment method from Magento?

Question

Im using a PayPal payment product. If you see the attached file, I get 3 options. The first 2 work fine and in fact is all I need. Last option

Credit card (save) doesn't seem to work. Can someone explain what this option is and how I can remove it.

Answer 1

The saved credit card method will allow you to accept credit card information for purchase, but Magento will not attempt to verify its accuracy other than the luhn simple checksum. Credit card information will be stored in a database encrypted using a call

Mage::helper('core')->encrypt($data) 

In the default 1.4.2 installation, you can view the payment information (including credit card) with the following SQL query

 SELECT * FROM sales_flat_order_payment 

You can view this payment method in

 System -> Config -> Payment Methods -> Saved CC 

You can also set the value “on” to “No”, which will remove this as a parameter.

Complete protection of credit card information is Hard Thing ™, both technically and bureaucratically. If you and your team do not have experience for this (which, based on your question, I'm going to assume that it is not), you do not want this option to be turned on.

Answer 2

Just turn it off when setting up payment methods in the background

Answer 3

This is a very bad option. It saves all the information about the user's credit card in your database (so that you can process it manually later if you have a hardware terminal but no payment gateway). Go to the administrator’s payment options and disable it, and it should disappear.

Answer 4

You should hide it with css display: none;

 .payment-icons-box { margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 15px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; display: none; }
