For osCommerce to process credit cards, a merchant account must be set up that will interface with osC. What do people do about processing payments for phone orders, mail orders, e-mail orders, walk-in customers? What about people using QuickBooks and processing some payments through it? Is there a one-account merchant service solution?

 

We currently have a terminal for processing credit cards manually, but would really like to automate more of the sales process. What is everyone doing?

Most merchant providers offer a virtual termial as part of there services. This allows you to process credit card in a browser. That means phone, mail and people order can be done.

Always looking for a way to improve my sites.

However, mail/phone/internet orders are generally charged a much higher rate than walk-in orders where you see the customer face-to-face and actually swipe the credit card. I would look into a processor that allows you to differentiate between the two types of transactions so you can get the lower rate for swiped cards.
