JustinHo Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I'm a newbie to OsCommerce and this is my first post. I've played around with OsCommerce for a couple of weeks and I've been able to install it, setup SSL, and modify the look to the way I want it thanks to all the posts on the forum. Now I would like to actually sell products allowing customers to use their credit cards to purchase products. I don't want them to be sent to another site such as paypal to enter their information...I would like it to be done on my site. My question is how do I go about this and what do I need? There appears to be many options such as Authorize.net, psigate etc... that I can install from the admin tool. Once I install them do I go to Authorize.net to create an account and is that it? Basically I'm looking for a very easy to understand explanation of what is needed i.e. a Merchant account, Bank account followed by a step by step process of how to integrate in OsCommerce. Also if you can tell me what is the cheapest/easiest solution that would be great. Thanks in advance! :-) Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatDadRick Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Basically I'm looking for a very easy to understand explanation of what is needed i.e. a Merchant account, Bank account followed by a step by step process of how to integrate in OsCommerce. Also if you can tell me what is the cheapest/easiest solution that would be great. Thanks in advance! :-) Justin Justin, Four things are needed. A Credit Card processor, I used MerchantPlus. A gateway, usually provided by the processor. A Credit Card service bureau, I used Authorize.net. And a matching OSC payment module, In my case Authorize.net. I spent a lot of time researching this when I decided to accept Credit Cards because I have a fairly low volume store and wasn't sure if the costs would justify the service. The lowest total cost I could find was with MerchantPlus and Authorize.net at $34.99 per month and I think 1.4 to 1.9 % per transaction. If you have a large volume, you may get a lower rate. I stopped accepting Credit Cards after I got hit with a $400.00 charge back for a Customer who just wanted to borrow a watch to impress his friends while on vacation. It doesn't matter how clear you make your return policy statement, some Credit Card companies will allow their customers to charge back anything, CitiBank is notorius for this according to my Authorize.net agent. End of my rant. I don't know about the other payment modules, but with Authorize.net Consolidated v1.7, no credit card info is ever on your site. It's with the processor only. Hope this helps some, CatDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rp9534 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Since no CC info is stored in the DB, how do you handle credits, i.e. for returned merchandise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
