Hi All,
Recently I'm involved in the development of an online store using osCommerce, I don't have too much experience developing e-commerce applications before, here's some questions that I wish to ask:

1. How does osCommerce hook up the payment gateway?
2. Is the transaction management part on the osCommerce itself or on the payment gateway merchant account? More specific, if I wish to see, for example, how many transactions occured during in the month and how much it that, should I go to osCommerce control panel or go to the payment gateway's merchant account?

Thank you very much for your help.

I would use both... That way you may find problems with transactions that didn't get all the way to the payment stage...

The payment gateway would be the best way to determine exactly how many transactions were processed (successful/declined/etc)
