Selecting A Credit Card As Payment....

Recommended Posts

Is it me, is it late or maybe I'm dummer than a box of rocks, but with all due respect, why doesn't oscommerce allow you to select a credit card "such as, visa, mastercard, discover" during the check out process?

 

For example, when someone places an order on my shopping cart, It allows you to enter a credit card name, number and expiration date but does not allow the customer to pick the type of credit card.

 

Can someone help me fix this or give me suggestions on what I should do?

 

Thanks!

That's an extra step that's unecessary. The logic behind the credit card validation knows what type of card it is based on the number. Why give the customer the opportunity to tell you it's a Visa when it was a Mastercard all along? :wink:

I completely understand and agree, but what about customers that proceed through the entire checkout, later to find out that discover is not accepted and only visa and mastercard are. My shopping cart has discover disabled, and if I deliberately make an order and use attempt to use my discover card, it tells me "credit card invalid". Why not an error message like ...."Discover is not accepted, please try visa or mastercard".

 

It just seems redicilous that a customer has to shoot credit cards out in the dark and hope that my shopping cart system accepts the credit card they are trying to use. I'll try to advertise "we accept visa/mastercard and with logo's", but even then, customers are not too bright at times and just go straight to the checkout.

 

Could it be possible that in the checkout_payment.php under "Payment Method" we could add "Visa & MasterCard Only"? If so, how could this be done?

 

Thanks
