However, we kept the ability to clear compiled templates for the http://www.yoursite.com/xcart/cleanup.php script.

 ==Remove Credit Card Information==
-This tool is intended for the removal of credit card information from the store's database. Note that since version 4.5.0 X-Cart does not store credit card information to enable [[X-Cart:PCI-DSS |PCI-DSS]] compliance. In X-Cart versions 4.5.0 and later the 'Remove credit card information' tool is preserved to enable those X-Cart store owners who upgraded from earlier X-Cart versions that used to keep CC data in order details (xcart_orders table => details field) to strip out all credit card info from their database in order to meet PCI-DSS requirements.

 Before you use this tool, you must '''back up the config.php file and the database''' of your store. This is essential, because if the re-generation procedure fails, you will not be able to log in to the store, and a lot of important information will be lost, including customer data and order details.
-To use the tool, click the '''Regenerate''' button. After you click '''Regenerate''', X-Cart generates a new Blowfish key and starts re-encrypting the data encrypted by the old key using the new key. While X-Cart is performing the re-encryption, you can see the progress on the screen. Please be patient and allow sufficient time for the procedure to complete.
+To use the tool, click the '''Regenerate''' button. After you click '''Regenerate''', X-Cart generates a new Blowfish key and starts re-encrypting the data encrypted with the old key using the new key (If your store also uses the Merchant key based encryption method, the data already encrypted using your store's Merchant key is not affected - it remains safely encrypted using your Merchant key). While X-Cart is performing the re-encryption of data with the new Blowfish key, you can see the progress on the screen. Please be patient and allow sufficient time for the procedure to complete.
 {{Note1|'''Important''': You must ensure that the re-encryption procedure runs uninterrupted up until the moment you see the message indicating its successful completion. If you happen to lose the Internet connection, close the browser window or simply leave the page displaying the re-encryption process before the routine is successfully completed, you will lose all the data that has not been re-encrypted with the new Blowfish key.<br /><br />
 It is also highly recommended to have the [[X-Cart:Server_Requirements_(X-Cart_4.4)#PHP_configuration | '''mcrypt''' PHP-extention]] installed on your server. This extension helps to speed up the Blowfish data encryption process, thus ensuring the re-encryption routine runs uninterrupted and completes successfully.}}
