Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Ecommerce Hosting & Discussion : PHP and E-Commerce

[CypherBUD]

I was just looking for some books tonight that talk about payment gateways, and how to code it for PHP. No such luck at the 3 book stores in my area. Does anyone know of a great book that goes into details, and has examples of code for processing credit cards and other E-Commerce stuff?

Or ...

Do you know of a great site where there are examples of processing credit cards through a payment gateway.

Also ...

Is payquake any good? Would you recommend it, or something else ... for someone with a low budget ?

Thanks ahead of time.
Sean.

Which gateway did you have in mind? I mean with Linkpoint - you can pass inputs over to the gateway very easily. You can review internet products here:

Hi Sean,

Most payment gateways will provide the code you require. No need to re-invent the wheel here.

As far as ecommerce, take a look at osCommerce - it has modules readily available for most payment gateways...

Hope this helps....

As Gargoyle suggested, look at OSC

Most of the major processors have relatively easy API's to install in any case and provide details when you sign up.
