NigelDeEthiopia Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hi everyone, I am posting my site up soon and I want to be able to accept credit cards... Problem is I have no idea which credit card modules do what... Can someone briefly explain the basic cc modules or provide a link for me to read... Also I may just want to have the cc number sent to me via email so that I can just verify/process the credit card myself... is there a way to do that? Thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nick If you will be processing the card manually, then you would be using the basic "credit card" module, the other modules (authorize.net and others) require you to have an account with them and they will do the processing. I don't recommend having anybody's credit card number being sent via e-mail, that's too dangerous. The credit card module gives you an option where it will e-mail you the middle digits and the rest of the number is stored on the database and you can access it via the admin panel and piece it together to process it. Not the safest thing, but better than having everything sent by e-mail. I hope I made sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I made sense. in regards to this, i want to offer cc so people don't have to use paypal which is the only method of payment i currently accept. how does this actually implement into oscommerce? is it like suggested above where you just manually process the credit card information into the merchant acct's website or however it's done (i have no clue) or are there modules (i didn't see the one i'd need listed in the admin section) that automatically process this? Basically, i'm not quite certain how this would work into my website and want an idea before going forward so i know what i'm getting into. thanks.

Guest Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 You could get a merchant account with authorize.net or a similar company in which case you would install the module with their name and the card processing would be done automatically online. If you have a credit card terminal offline at your business you would then use the default credit card module where the customer will enter the credit card number and you would then manually enter the transaction into your terminal.

niko18 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Well you would need to wait for a module, or have someone create one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skestler Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hi Everyone. I've got a follow up question that looks like it should be here. :) I'm trying to set up OS Commerce for a friend's aquarium store. He already has a merchant account, & has decided to use the credit card module and process credit cards manually. The host I'm using has a shared SSL certificate. Can we process credit cards under the shared SSL certificate, or does he need one of his own? Any instructions/advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

DomainMasters.NET Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hi Skestler, I'm not sure if other hosts do the same thing as we do, I don't think so, but we give you the choice of selecting the server wide SSL cert or the domains SSL cert. Here is a screen shot of our SSL setup area for osCommerce: http://www.domainmasters.net/e-commerce/cert_Select.png - Load this URL incase the image doesn't show. I hope this helps. Bye the way, our version of osCommerce has been customized for our hosting system and it's called CartXrpess. It has many other enhancements as well. Stone DomainMasters.NET Hi Everyone.
