dynamoeffects Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) A & B ) Doing this will violate your merchant agreement and subject you to massive fines from VISA/MC. Do not do it. Sign up for a payment gateway instead which will handle all online transactions. C) You must purchase an SSL certificate and have your webhost install it. I use InstantSSL, which you can find by searching google, but there are many good companies out there to choose from. Edited April 18, 2007 by dynamoeffects Quote Please use the forums for support!

How do i sign up for a payment gateway.. i am totally in the dark on this.. how do i get educated about this Quote
dynamoeffects Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 There are a million payment gateways out there, and all of their prices and quality of service differ. Search google for "payment gateway" and you'll find all the gateways you could ever hope for. There's one company that I typically recommend because I know they work and develop their own osCommerce payment module, but this forum is very strict about discussing outside services, so unfortunately that's all I can say about it (I try to be a good boy in here). You can shoot me an email if you don't have any luck finding a good one. Quote Please use the forums for support!
