Deleting a CC when a patron requests it

Today a patron requested that we not store her credit card, which had been used previously for a number of orders. A Box Office staffer tried to delete the card in Tessitura, but of course the client complained that it couldn't do that since the CC is referenced "elsewhere in the system".

It is possible to borrow some code from the "Purge Credit Card Account Data" report to do this sort of thing, but we are wondering - what do other orgs do in a case like this? Is there a better way?

TIA for any replies.

  • Hi Chris-

    We have a SP that clears out the account information for a single constituent or list, I would be happy to share and will upload the code to my files.

    Is that what you were thinking you would need?

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi, Paul-- 

    I do have some code to do this, indeed borrowed from "Purge Credit Card Account Data" and modified for a specific project, but yours sounds more polished. Please share!

    Thanks.

  • We inactivate CCs when a patron wants it removed from their account.  Since we can’t delete it as a one off because it’s been used in a transaction, we just inactivate so it can’t be used again.  I love the idea of a utility that will make it possible to completely remove CC accounts individually.  If you don’t mind sharing with us Paul, I’d love a copy of your stored procedure as well.
