I like to offer credit card payment on my site. (webhosting)Already have contracts with VISA,Mastercard,Diners Club, American express to accept payments.

It is going this way. user fills out the form (SSL secured) - i get the info write it down on a FAX - order send it to the cc company-they send it confirmed back (hopefully) .
:confused:
But how do i get the creditcard info secured over the net - from my SSL site to my local machine?

Just 4 the info. I´m doing this myself cause i only pay 3,45%. And nothing else.

Hope everybody understands what i mean.

I hope somebody can help me out :cartman:

Thx :cartman:

I'm guessing you only have non-internet credit card processing. You should contact the company who currently provides processing to you and ask them about using their internet gateway. If they are any good they should provide you with a website to enter them out.

Good Luck.

Thx for the reply - no there is no internet credit card processing - why ? i live in austria - only 1 company provides the internet processing but they charge $3000 just for the setup ! Thats crazy here.

The only question is how to submit the SSL - Creditcard authorization form from my SSL site to my local machine? Via mail- unsecure .. are there any other ideas ?

Use scp or sftp.

Idea, want thoughts:

Couldn't you just generate an SSL page that lists the info, then print/write it down?

Installing SSH for this purpose is kind of overboard, unless you access your server quiet frequently.

I would recommend just generate the information to webpage then password protect them. Of course, use https for this purpose.

To get it securely via email, you'll need to use pgp...or, even better (and free)...GnuPG, which will encrypt your email before sending it to you, and you decrypt it on your end. It can be had at http://www.gnupg.org/
