Payment System

Good day,

I am planning to develop an e-commerce application. After thinking through it, I found out that the system is like a shopping application like amazon, wherein the user needs to pay online either through credit card or paypal or whatever the means of paying he wants, which goes me to a halt. How am I suppose to develop this kind of application in PHP. I mean how can I verify the credit card, How will I deduct the amount and the same goes through with Paypal. Do I need a third party with this? Do I need to talk to a company? Hope somebody could give me a tutorial or article regarding how to implement this. Tnx

Save the headaches, and go with Verisign. They allow a drop in snippet, and your site is ready to take on customers from a secured area which depending on the plan, is insured. You dont want this kind of monkey on your back.

I agree with Michael 01, go with an established payment system - Verisgn is a good choice. Depending on the sophitication of your target users, consider also e-Gold or NetTeller.

One more thing. PayPal is the devil. The devil.

peace
