Hi. I'm curious how much information people generally store regarding credit card transactions. For example, when I process a payment, I do the following:
- update the user's account balance record accordingly
- insert the individual transaction info in a 'transactions' table
For the individual transaction record, I store
- user_id
- amount
- (authnet) transId
- timestamp
Is the transID alone enough? Or is it better to store the entire xml response? Or something in between?
(I've found several posts that touch on this subject but I haven't seen this exact question addressed.)
