hi has anyone heard of cyber cash? http://www.fatcow.com/help/cybercash.shtml
this thing comes with my client's current shopping cart but i intend to write one for her but i have never dealt with shopping cart, well more accurate, never dealt with credit card transaction online. how do ppl do it, do you know? is there available php shopping cart script that has cyber cash installed?

Cybercash went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy toward the end of Q3 last year and was subsequently purchased by Verisign. Verisign has been migrating all former Cybercash clients to Payflow Pro, so I would advise looking for that instead. A trip to http://www.cybercash.com will get you directed to the Verisign site for payment products, here:
http://www.verisign.com/products/payment.html

For your other question: several shopping cart programs support integration with the Verisign gateway: agoracgi, phpShop, and The Exchange Project are three that I know. Interchange does as well, but interchange is difficult to work with and we don't recommend it for anyone.

Hi !
CyberCash has fine products but as already stated they are in a bad state. Verisign purchased it only for the customer base. But I guess the customer base is too large for anyone to play with. They had something like 83% of the market share.

It is very easy to integrate many shopping carts with cybercash and I would still recommend it.

Have a great day :)

regards

P.S. Did you know that the entire development and support of cybercash products takes place in Banglore, India...

Cybercash filed for reorganization under Ch 11. Its not really THAT bad of a thing. I mean, yes, its a thing to consider, but a fair amount of companies file for Ch 11 reorangization to save thier butts.

Verisign bought the CashRegister product from CyberCash and First Data bought their other products like ICverify (infamous for the costly bungling of Y2K) and WebAuthorize.

I'm not sure whether CyberCash as a corporation still exists, but if it does, it's not really in business. Go to www.cybercash.com and you'll be redirected to Verisign.

Both Verisign and First Data are still supporting the products, but at least in the case of CashRegister Verisign isn't offering it for new sign-ups -- they still operate the CyberCash gateway for existing customers but encourage the switch to their own PayFlow product.
