Hi,
I am nearly finnished designing my site for resseller business but need to know how I go about adding the form for credit card orders. Assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

Perhaps it would help if you told us what CC processor you would be using as a lot of the third party services (2checkout , revecom etc.) redirect you to their credit card order form.

On the other hand if you are using a merchant account where you are supposed to input CC details yourself like hostcharge then you would need an SSL cert + a way to get the data e-mailed securely to you. Perhaps a PHP form with a PGP backend. :D

Hi, thanks for the reply,
not sure which cc processor ill use yet, maybe u can suggest one that u use or like. As for php backend, I have no idea what that is.
Cheers
Phil

an SSL certificate is something (programs) installed on your webserver to make the connection from the customer to your website secure (most buyers - ex: me - won't enter my CC info if i don't see a littly lock on the status bar of IE :).

an "PHP backend" mentioned, i think he meant a small script written in PHP to send you the CC data entered by the customers securely thru thr form you created...

(in the script you, before sending the mail, you can encrypt the info by someway that only you can decrypt.., PHP language have some built-in function for this. to prevent people from catching your email on the fly..)

I am learning about the CC thingie also, so just help within what I can (which sadly not much..)

Jedi

with 2checkout.com you dont need to be redirected to their forms....or you can add their form to youre website i do beleive.

Thanks guys, appreciate the info, very useful. I am more wiser than I was previously.
Cheers.
