Guest Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 The thing I hate about setting up an online store is that you can't really test the payment proccess so I'm sorry if I ask newbie questions, I would try to figure it out on my own. Ok so I got osCommerce running and configured the PayPal module but now lets say someone wants to purchase an item and wants to pay with credit card... Is that avaiable for free through paypal or will paypal require each customer to sign-up after they already signed up at my store and then add a bankaccount to their paypal to make a payment? Or does Paypal proccess the credit card payment, take a % and put the rest into my PayPal account...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
running wolf Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 The customer does not have to sign up with paypal to pay with a credit card. BUT: Many customers do not like to pay via paypal, either this or that way, one reason I fumbled for weeks to set up an osc store. And I noticed that a certain kind of customers are trying to rip you off, paypal only protects sellers when the customer is verified and the goods are shipped to a confirmed address with an internet trackable delivery number. I was stupid (trustful) enough to mail to unverified customers and/or unconfirmed addresses only to have paypal help those customers with a charge back. My advcice: read the small print and read it twice and then another time. Quote Kristine Running Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bglkk Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 oh people do that... well I guess that could happen with any company you use. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, chargebacks happen with credit cards through a gateway too. But RW speaks the truth that Paypal's Seller Protection Policy is weak. Almost useless, in fact. For credit card purchases, we depend on the MaxMind fraud detection (free) service. You'll get nothing like that with Paypal. http://www.maxmind.com/app/ccv_overview http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2115 OK, off the soapbox now... :P Quote "Buy the ticket, take the ride..." -HST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
