When you setup with enom to do domain name reselling, and you have a 3rd party credit card processor, how do you integrate the two?
If a customer comes to my site and does a search for a domain name, wants to purchase it, and wants me to host it, is this a complicated procedure?
Does enom hold the name while my third party credit card folks make the transaction and then wait for approval? Or will they just charge me for it?
I know this may not be the place to ask this, but I know alot of you offer this service on your site...
Thanx

Short & Sweet Version:

1. Customer fills in billing info on your site
2. Billing info is submitted for charge
3. Success code is sent back to your site
4. The domain info is sent to eNom and it is registered
5. eNom sends success message to your site

This is all done via a script you would host on your site, which connects to eNom's reseller API. When a domain is registered through the API, your base cost is deducted from funds deposited to your eNom account beforehand.

You can code your own API system, or use one of the few scripts available for sale.

HTH :)

It is much easier to simply use the registryrocket or PDQ tools provided by eNom. They have their own cc processing system.. and then you get your customer to signup for hosting with you.

Or, you can use the eNom API to "plug-in" your own cc/registration system.. but that's a LOT of work.
