dirksmith Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 hi I have a very basic newbie question: how do I set-up the credit card payment option? I already have the pay-pal option - but would also like to accept payment using the credit card option - is this something I can do using a pay-pal premier account? do i need to download a credit card module to acheive this? thanx d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisHoward Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 You can accept Credit Cards via osCommerce just isntall the module, however its best just to use Paypal. With any paypal account anyone can pay via credit card even if they dont have a paypal account. So you shouldnt really have a problem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevel Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 The credit card module is a standard part of osC, you just have to enable it in admin. But this requires that you have a way to process credit cards manually, with your own merchant account. Do you? All the module does is collect the information from the customer and make it available to you in admin. You have to do the rest. This is best for stores that already have an established merchant account for processing charges.

No, I don't have a merchant account - just a premier account with paypal - so i guess i will just offer the paypal payment option. thanx d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevel Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 There is a new PayPal "Pro" payment system that may interest you. There's a contribution that supports it, but I haven't used it so can't comment. Otherwise, the PayPal IPN contribution is much better than osC's stock PayPal module.

stevel Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 No - they both process payments through PayPal. The Payments Pro looks a lot like a traditional payment gateway for credit card payments. It lets you offer PayPal as an option, but it does not "look like PayPal" to the customer. See the PayPal web site for more info.
