Accept credit card payments
Posted: Sat Dec 18, 2004 5:46 pm
I don't need help collecting any billing information, I can already do that, but my question is once I have the credit card number what can I do to charge the card?
Everyone says paypal is the easiest way except I am not sure exactly how their service works. What I want to be able to do is the following:
Input their credit card number (over SSL) - [no problem]
Store their # into a variable - [no problem there]
Send the credit card # over a secure connection, and send the amount to bill the card for, and get a responce wether the transaction went through [umm, help?]
take the responce and if its true then add the order into a mysql table full of orders that need to be shipped, store the last 4 digits of their CC#, the card type, the expiration date, the product order, total amount they paid, what item etc.... if the order failed then foward them to a page explaining what went wrong - [no probelm there]
What services are there to do this, I thought paypal was just for donations. Do they offer support to bill the credit card for X amount of dollars, without the user registering a paypal account, and without the user ever seeing the word paypal anywhere? If not what other free/cheap services will allow me to do this?
Thanks
