jdock1 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 <StupidQuestion> Is it possible to develop your own payment processor in PHP? Im guessing you would need some type of payment server software? Because if paypal can make their own online form that processes credit cards, why couldnt we? </StupidQuestion> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167226-stupid-question-about-payment-processing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yes you could, but it wouldn't really make sense to - why reinvent the wheel? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167226-stupid-question-about-payment-processing/#findComment-881706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdock1 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yes you could, but it wouldn't really make sense to - why reinvent the wheel? Why pay fees? Thats why I would like to make my own secure PP How would one go about doing this though? What types of payment processing software is there?

Philip Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 No matter where you go you're going to have fees. If you choose to process through the credit card companies, they make everyone pay a small fee per transaction anyways. You also would have to worry more about security - as if something happened on your end with a breach in security you would be held liable, not paypal, google checkout or the like. I'd strongly suggest staying with one of the well known processors.
