Storing credit card informatio is a very vital issue in web application cos definetely hackers may break in. The two option their is:

1) Either you get a merchant account so that u can escape the risk of having any problem with stolen card.

2) If they have already have a billing system but not merchant account then try to encyrpt the credit card data with AES_ENCRYPT(str,secret_key) then when u want to view it u can then decrypt it with AES_DECRYPT(column_name, secret_key).

Hope this will help.
