[teamVar]

Hi all, first thanks to PDSteve for answering all my questions so far!! B)

 

Ok so, im still a bit confused as to how all the monetary parts tie in. Im in the process of ordering my SSL certificate, and want to take money online through paypal AND credit cards.

 

Which modules do i need to enable within OSCommerce? (Im in the UK by the way)

 

How do i setup OSCommerce to pay money into my CLIENTS accounts? Im just a bit confused as to how money/trasactions eventually get to my clients account .. cant really seem to find anything like that in the control panel so sure im looking in the wrong place?

 

Thinks that about it for now il edit it if theres anymore :huh: ;)

 

Thnaks to any and all who respond!! :)

There is only one contribution that you need for paypal, and it's right here: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2679 ... download it and follow the readme instructions, and install paypal ipn xml on your payment modules.

 

Then you'll have to go to paypal.com and get a business account. It's free, although you pay like 1.5% for transaction fees. Eventually, within paypal, you go to your account, go to "profile", then go to "instant payment notification preferences" or something, and set the path to your ipn.php file (you'll know that I'm talking about after you've installed the contribution). Then, all you need to do is to go to your ADMIN tool -- http://www.yoursite.com/catalog/admin, or something, and go to Modules ---> Payment ----> highlight any that are currently enabled and remove them, and you will see a new module called paypal_ipn_xml. Highlight that and install it, and then just follow the instructions within your ADMIN tool.

 

Make sure you order your SSL cert on http://www.yoursite.com, or http://yoursite.com, and make sure your host installs it the same way. Make sure they're on the same page. Once it's installed, then go to your catalog/includes/configure.php file and make it so it looks like this around line 13:

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourwebsite.com');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.yourwebsite.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

 

Set it to true. Do the same thing in your catalog/admin/includes/configure.php file, except change all the http's to https's, and set the SSL to true.

 

Then you're all secure and ready to receive payments! Hope this helped.
