[(SH)Saeed]

Hi,

We're about to add a shopping system to our website to sell some products for another website/company and we want the shopping cart to be on our website (so it looks like we have the producsts). The problem is that they have to charge the creditcard and send the product. I was talking to them and they were suggesting that we take the user information and then fax it to them and they will take care of it.

I really hate to be responsible for other peoples money and creditcard and there is noway evern if I agree to this that I will make an database with the users and their info (they will have to put it in every time). But what is the best and safest way to do this? I would appriciate any suggestions.

Thank you.

Fax isn't a bad idea (especially if you've got something like WinFax so you don't have to punch in the number everytime), although you might want to look into PGP-enabled e-mail to transfer the information.
