I'm working with a with a payment processing company that provides an API. One endpoint of this API requires a bank account number.
I'm not a PCI compliance expert or web security expert, so I want to tread carefully in this area.
What do I need to do in order accept a bank account number in a web form securely?
See if the payment processor works with a tokenizing company, like Spreedly (http://www.spreedly.com). You can post your form for the bank info to spreedly, they return a token, which you then use with the spreedly api to post a charge etc. Other tokenizing companies do similar.

Does anyone know if you're allowed to use saved card details for MOTO payments?
The scenario is this.
Customer calls in.
Agent brings up customer details
Agent see that the customer has saved cards already on their account
Agent selects saved card
Agent uses that to start the payment (I believe CCV details will need to be
added to complete payment)
It was my understanding that all card details need to be keyed in (card number/date/CCV).
In my case, we're using Stripe API, but I'm more concerned about the rules of the process in general.
If you want to process MOTO payments with the Stripe API, you first need to contact Stripe to enable that feature as explained here. Otherwise, if your account is in the European Economic Area, payments made by manually entering card details in the Dashboard will be automatically marked as MOTO by Stripe.
However, as mentioned on this support page, note that:
You’re responsible for ensuring that you protect your customers’ card information in accordance with PCI compliance requirements.
Manually creating payments through the Dashboard must only be performed when there are exceptional circumstances preventing you from using your own integration. It cannot be your primary method of processing payments on your account.
I'm developing a Symfony 3 application and the client chooses stripe for online payment
Users will make auctions on the website.
Is there a solution (with stripe or another system) to check if the user has provision on his account to accept the auction ?
Amounts can be quite big (10k€)
Thanks !

A lot of payment gateways offer Auth/Capture separation, in which you can first authorize the payment (suggesting the shopper's credit card has enough in the CC cap\credit ceiling to afford this deal currently).
The issue is that this authorisation request often puts the funds on a "hold period" on the card - a time frame in which the CC cap is reduced as if the shopper purchased the item, and could cause the shopper to max-out their credit even if they didn't end up purchasing. This is why authorisation calls on large amounts need to be handled with caution.
If you want to go ahead with this business model, make sure you also have a cancel/reverse authorisation option - that will allow you to validate first with an auth only request, and then release the hold on the shopper's CC. I am not familiar with Stripe's API, but I know that BlueSnap has both Auth and Auth reversal APIs:
Auth API: https://developers.bluesnap.com/v8976-JSON/docs/auth-only
Auth reversal API: https://developers.bluesnap.com/v8976-JSON/docs/auth-reversal
You can use the auth & capture flow to create an authorization but not capture the funds immediately.
Note that such large amounts will probably have high decline rates. I recommend you reach out to Stripe's support at https://support.stripe.com/email to discuss your business model in more details.
Can I get users to enter credit card details on the PayPal site, rather than my own when setting up a recurring payments profile for direct credit card payments?
When setting up a recurring payments profile for a user who wishes to subscribe to my service, I currently follow the standard recurring payment flow (as shown in the PayPal API examples):
Use the REST API to create a billing plan and agreement.
Redirect the user to the PayPal site.
User logs in/registers on PayPal site and confirms their acceptance there.
PayPal redirects them back to my site for final confirmation of the billing agreement.
Once they have confirmed on my site, billing commences and we start listening for IPN's.
However, it seems that if you want to use direct credit card payments (i.e. the customer does not have/want a PayPal profile), you have to capture the credit card details on your own site and pass them through to PayPal on the API call. Is there a way to move the credit card detail capturing to the PayPal site itself?
Yes, PayPal supports this arrangement; they call it hosted pro or hosted sole solution. However, it's classic, not the new REST.
PayPal's newer direct credit card APIs use vaulting, but I don't believe they come with a fully PayPal-hosted page that would avoid all PCI complications for you.
You might also want to look at Braintree's solution, which integrates into your page but handles encrypting & tokenizing the card details so you don't have to worry about PCI.
I want to know, can i use google wallet with braintree payment gateway in android application. To be more technical clear, take MASKEDWallet from google wallet and fetch all useful information from it and send it to braintree payment gateway for completing the purchase.
Please help.
I'm a couple of days into working on same, so this is devoid of technical specifics (more conceptual). Also I'm doing so on the "web" side of Wallet Instant Buy (not Android), though the concept of sending payment details through, and meeting (PCI) requirements, to your (any) credit card payment gateway should be the same.
Unless I'm corrected by a Googler:
You'll need to make a FullWalletRequest to obtain the "full wallet" which means the actual card details that you need to send to your gateway (card no, cvc/cvv, expiration, billing address etc.).
At which point, it wouldn't differ from any other/existing (gateway type) credit card processing.
At the end of the day, what Google Wallet Instant Buy does:
provide a merchant application (droid/ios/web) a "Virtual Onetime Card", which,
represents a Google Wallet user's real card stored in his/her Google Wallet account, therefore securing actual card details and scoping the transaction (because it's one-time)
I would think the only possible caveat is whether or not a gateway accepts such type of of card (" a MasterCard-branded virtual prepaid debit card")..unlikely that would be an issue (in US, which is where the API is limited to at this time...)....
Digressing a bit. The other caveat that comes to mind is if you employ some fraud screening service. You're given a "virtual card" (not the real card of a cardholder), so if your service uses/needs that information to come up with a risk score, then its something you need to account for...
Hth....
This is the scenario I expect the system behave:
I have a platform where users can register and store their credit card information online, and with specific user's action, system automatically settles payment.
Of course, user expect automatic payment system as we said so when they enter their card information, and the purpose of this is to simplify the process when they decided to pay for something.
My question is this:
I found that Amazon saves user's card information when they purchased some products then user doesn't need to put all the card information again but just select from the list of cards he used and with one click, it finishes payment.
Also, in price line, I found that it automatically settles after bid accepted.
So I tried to find the provider or payment gateway company that Priceline or Amazon provide, and tried to find the way to implement the system at least, but couldn't find any. What I have found so far were like, using paypal, and it requires user to have paypal id
I'm doing this in PHP, can anybody give me some clue please?
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to do this with most payment gateways that support recurring payments.
Typically what you would do for new customers is capture their card details 'as normal' (via the payment gateway). The payment gateway will return a token id which you then store against the customer record
Next time that customer makes a payment you can submit the tokenised card number to the payment gateway
Since you mentioned Amazon, you might want to look at their payment service API: http://aws.amazon.com/fps/
