Configuring Encryption for Payment Methods

Both credit cards and bank accounts private data must be stored encrypted. To use credit cards, it is not necessary to store cards data in Parallels Business Automation - Standard, but if you are planning to process delayed payments, credit cards data must be saved. As for bank accounts data, it is always must be saved in Parallels Business Automation - Standard to make it possible to generate batch files containing the transactions data to be submitted to a bank.

The payment methods private data saved in Parallels Business Automation - Standard is encrypted with public key and after this, to perform transaction, you need a secret key to decrypt it. Parallels Business Automation - Standard allows generating two key pairs - to use the second one if the first key pair is lost. If you already have a key pair saved somewhere, you can upload it.

To upload or generate a new key pair, go to Commerce DirectorPayment Processing - Secure Storage. Select the Keys Management tab.

To enter a secure key temporarily, select the Secure Key tab. In this case, you can define the period of time the key will be still stored in the Parallels Business Automation - Standard so that you could process several transactions instead of one.
