After you run the customer and contact conversion and the transaction conversion, there may be credit cards that were not converted to Worldpay PASS accounts. To be compliant with the credit card rules, all credit card numbers left over in the system, for example in change logs and customer, contact, or orders cards that did not get converted, only the last four digits of the card number can be visible or stored in the system.
Use the Worldpay Credit Card Purge utility to trim all credit card numbers that remain in the system to display and store only the last 4 digits of the card's number.
Note: The purge process does not convert any credit card information that exists within your Hold file entries. To delete this information, delete the file and regenerate it after the conversion.
Important: Run the purge utility after you have completed all other Worldpay conversion activities.
