Credit Card Encryption |

NOTE: This is a legacy feature and it is not supported if you use EMV payment processing. (EMV has its own encryption.)
Credit Card Encryption is a vital key to credit card security. In order to protect your data, you should change your encryption key at least once every six months. Enter your old and new encryption key in the appropriate fields. You will need security setting access to make this change.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have batched any open transactions before processing!
Once entered, click "Process" to re-encrypt your data.
An encryption key should appear to be a haphazard series of letters (upper and lower case), punctuation and symbols, and numbers. The longer the string of characters (up to 200) the stronger the encryption will be. You may create the string of characters in a notepad file and cut and paste into the Encryption fields.
Remember to keep any notes made securely locked up.
