Uncovering the top resources to build your payment knowledge
The payments industry and ecosystem...
As we hear feedback from customers about the creative ways they use their payments data we constantly look for ways to unlock more use cases. We've recently released a feature that extends innovative ways to work with payments data and I’m excited to share it with you!
PCI regulations dictate that merchants can’t store CVC numbers from credit cards beyond the point of processing payment. To help our customers enforce that rule and stay PCI compliant, we previously had limited storage of CVC to one hour. However, we’ve heard from customers who are driving innovation in payments that they need to store data for longer periods of time. So we have been working to provide a feature that enables you to securely and compliantly store those numbers for an extended duration.
If you're like me, you're probably already thinking about all the cool things you can do with this. So, get ready, because we're about to dive into what this feature is all about and some of the ways we’re seeing customers use it!
Let’s start with how you can enable this in your Tenant. To extend the time you can store CVC numbers in Card Objects, simply reach out to our support team by emailing support@basistheory.com with a short description of your business case so that we can ensure you can extend the storage time and remain PCI compliant. This is currently only available for customers on paid PCI plans but you may contact our team and we’ll be happy to discuss how you can implement this for new projects.
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Hold on, is that safe? Is it compliant?" Absolutely! Our team has put in the hours to ensure this maintains rock-solid security and PCI compliance. With end-to-end encryption, access controls, and a TTL on the CVC we are ensuring the data is safe while being stored, and meets PCI regulations.
And the best part? This shiny new feature plays nicely with all the other awesome Basis Theory tools you already use. It's all done through our unified API, so you can keep your operations slick and seamless.
We’re already hearing of some ingenious ways this feature can be used in payments flows. Let's take a peek at some of these to get your creative juices flowing:
So, whether you're building features to help users plan events, source exclusive items, or travel the world on someone else’s dime, this feature can assist in a safe and compliant way, we can help.
Our extended CVC storage feature is a significant step forward for Basis Theory. We strive to provide secure and innovative solutions that balance convenience with security, and this feature exemplifies our commitment.
We are always looking for feedback from our users so please let us know how you're using this feature and what you love about it. We're always eager to find ways to provide you with solutions that maintain compliance for you while unlocking your ability to innovate.
