  1. I would love to have a module that could do this. I don't know enough about oscommerce or php to do it myself. Anyone that can do this would be my hero. :) ( I know thats not worth much... but hey. )
  2. PayPal can be very close in fees. For a smaller sales business PayPal is better than a merchant account as there is no setup fee or monthly fee. When you get into larger volume the merchant account works out better. PayPal does offer a "Virtual Terminal", which I believe does have a small monthly fee, but it allows you to take credit cards and process them. You get the CC info over the phone, in person, fax or email and thenprocess the card. check out https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_vt_hub-outside The biggest issue I have had with PayPal is them randomly assessing fraud to a transaction and removing the fees. I got them back after I provided information about where the product was shipped and delivery confirmation, but had I of not had that info, I would have lost $350. I use PayPal for my websites, ebay auctions and websites I build. I think they provide a good service at almost reasonable prices. I know from experience that unless I am doing a lot more business a merchant account is not the best option for me. As far as this threads topic.... you can process payments through PayPal without leaving your site. It is called Website Payments Pro https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_...verview-outside and it does require the user to either join or be an existing PayPal customer, but you don't leave the site. This service is free until October 31 so checkit out and see what you think.
