Well, I must admit, I’ve been so wrapped up in projects for clients, I’ve completely neglected Creatuity.com. After being involved with yet another Wordpress-powered site that simply put Creatuity.com to shame, I decided that it was time to update this site. Furthermore, I realized that unless I kept it simple, I would never find the time to keep the site current and up to date (something, ironically enough, that I warn clients that want to launch their company’s first blog or social media presence about quite often), so instead of using Drupal to power the ‘corporate’ portion of the site (the homepage) and Wordpress to power the blog, I’m going to be removing Drupal and managing the entire site via Wordpress.
Stay tuned – things could get a little rocky here for the next few days as I move everything around, so I apologize for any broken links – however, in the end, I hope to make Creatuity.com a much more useful, up-to-date site for your reading pleasure!
FACTA (”The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act”), a law which resulted in a wave of class-action lawsuits (See the Multichannel Merchant article ‘Fear FACTA‘ for more info), stats among other things that a merchant cannot print the expiration date of a customer’s credit card number on any sort of receipt.
Users deploying Magento within the US should be aware of the fact that the default email templates send the last 4 digits of the customer’s credit card number and the expiration date of the customer’s credit card in the order confirmation, invoice and other related emails.
Luckily it’s a fairly simple fix – you’ll need to edit one of your template files on your server, which if you’re using the default template will be located at app/design/frontend/default/default/template/payment/info/cc.phtml
You’ll want to remove line 31, which reads:
<?php echo $this->__(’Expiration Date: %s/%s’, $this->htmlEscape($this->getCcExpMonth()), $this->htmlEscape($this->getInfo()->getCcExpYear())) ?>
Many stores will also want to remove the previous line, which includes the last 4 digits of the customer’s credit card number in the emails sent to the customer. That line is:
<?php echo $this->__(’Credit Card Number: xxxx-%s’, $this->htmlEscape($this->getInfo()->getCcLast4())) ?><br />
