hello, im wanting to setup an online store soon. im on a dedicated raq. I was wondering what are some good scripts and requirements for a ecommerce site. If I have a shopping cart script, does it automatically valid the credit card?

Errr.. I'd think the payment processor would do the cc validation. The carts are just to organize the products and tally up the total cost. After that the final price is sent off to the payment gateway, etc...
