Hey all...

    I have a simple question that I would like some input on:

    I want to store orders in my PostgreSQL database, along with the credit
card #'s (encrypted, of course). I don't want to send the number to anything
like CyberCash, authorize.net, and etc. (We're doing that in-house) Now how
would I go about reconfiguring Interchange to accomplish this task? I'm
guessing I need to change the order routing... do I need to do any perl
tweaking? Most importantly, has anyone else done this, or is this something
in the norm? What are YOU doing on YOUR site? :-)

    Thanks for any input you can provide!
