Can someone verify what options I have for CC pmnts

[josh1r]

I know that I can use a regular PayPal account but customers get sent to paypal to complete the transaction. I understand that there is the paypal payments pro which enables customers to checkout directly on my site, but there doesn't appear to be a way to integrate that with oscommerce? So does that just leave authorize.net as my best option?

 

Thanks!

For US based businesses Authorize.net is an easy way to have the customers complete the transactions on your site, but with some modifications you also have several more options..

Thanks! If I use authorize.net is it as simple as signing up with them and activating the module in osC?

 

Also, does anyone know if innovativemerchant.com is compatible with osC?

Ah, I now realize that innovativemerchant is a merchant, not a gateway.

 

Does the 2checkout payment module allow a user to stay on the site, or does it got a 2checkout screen, like paypal?

Not really. You'll need to setup a merchant account with them and then the gateway -- and it's not cheap! A few hundred dollars to setup the gateway and then a per month charge plus a per transaction charge.

Go to sitepoint.com for a great article that compares some of the major gateways including authorize.net.

 

good luck-

Thanks. I finally think I figured out the various pieces that I need...

 

As far as osCommerce goes, once I have a merchant account and authorize.net (if I go with those, i'll read the article you mentioned shortly), do I just have to enable it in admin? Then customers will be able to checkout via CC and remain on my website... Does everything else happen automatically between the gateway and merchant account?

 

Also, are there any other options for osC aside from merchant account + gateway to accept credit cards on my own website (unlike paypal which goes off to their site, and i'm not sure what 2checkout does).

 

What does everyone else use for CC transactions and osC? I've having a hard time finding out what is 'standard' or at least most commong among osC merchants.

 

Thanks again!
