nguyenmm Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 So I had a question, I am installing oscommerce for the first time but i came to step 2 and it says it will connect to the database server, to import the database table structure. Will this mess up my table structure? I have tables setup and I currently am using paypal to process orders so nothing is done on my website. I want to give customers more options so now i want to bring the process back to the website using the oscommerce cart function. and i have a merchant that processes credit card information so i just need to setup the cart. the merchant said i was compatible with oscommerce so thats why i am looking into it. but current my tables are sending information straight to paypal and then the customer finishes the order there but i want to give them the option to use credit card directly from my site and then if they choose can use paypal. and ideas? should i just go through with the installation and reconfigure my tables to the oscommerce tables? thanks for any help mike
Guest Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Mike, You can create a NEW database for the osCommerce installation so it doesn't over-write your current tables. Also, unless your site is PCI DSS compliant, it is illegal to process credit card information from your website. You should look into it before your site is audited. I suggest using an online Payment Processor to complete credit card transactions. Chris
nguyenmm Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Chris, Thanks for your reply, is there a way to do it with the tables on the database already? And ya its not on my website that I am processing the credit cards. I am using authorize.net. it said it was compatible with oscommerce so thats why I am looking into it. Mike

♥toyicebear Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 you have to change the permission to writable on the two configure.php files mentioned or you will have to edit them manually adding in url/file paths/db access info.
