JasonLewis Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 well you could use a eCommerce script or you could signup at paypal, which is a very good website. i would suggest paypal, as it is easy to incorperate to your website. www.paypal.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbo Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 If you're just dealing with US customer (not sure of your situation) google has some decent stuff coming out. I think they are doing free payment processing until end of 2007 too, and after that the rates are fairly competitive with paypal. If you have a small number or products google buttons seem pretty straight forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a small number or products google buttons seem pretty straight forward. I agree I just implemented google checkout with my website (level 2 integration). Pretty simple if you know xml, php, & html. dbo is right, google checkout buttons are the easiest way to go if you have a limited number of products and you don't have a shopping cart. The only way to receive payment processing is to spend money on adwords. every dollar you sepnd on adwords google will let you process ten dollars of google checkout processing for free.

jd2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 please give me a starting idea/how should i start to write a ecommerce script ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbo Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I wouldn't... especially if you don't know where to start. There are plenty of good free ones out there. Also a lot of web hosts provide them with hosting packages... see what's already available to you. osCommerce seems to be one that comes bundled a lot.

mesh2005 Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 mmm, I'm a bit confused. Now I'm building an ecommerce website for a company based in Australia. They have a merchant bank number and they want to save the payer details (e.g. credit card number) in their database. Which payment gateway should I use? Authorize.net is available in USA only. Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 If your client has a merchant bank account, why not ask what bank it's with and how that accept online payments? If that bank is on the ball, they should be thrilled at getting another revenue stream and provide information about integrating web transactions for a customer. I'd be very wary of a seller who wanted to keep my cc details in their database. Not much security offered there! Potential buyers are (usually) smart enough to look for a secure third-party payment gateway that they trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballhogjoni Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I don't know if this is advertising or not, but I have a free service you can use to add "add to cart" buttons on your site. It uses google checkout. Right now it is being beta tested, so there may be some issues but most of it works great and its free. pm me if interested. To all admin, I am not trying to advertise my service, I feel that it can help this person out with his/her problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbo Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 What does "your service" do exactly? 'Cause what you described is essentially what google buttons do on their own and google provides code for this already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballhogjoni Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Its actually a shopping cart. With google buy now buttons, you can't add more than one item to your cart unless you complete the level 2 integration. For some that may be hard, you have to know xml, php, html and some other languages. my service allows you to add many products to a db and then automatically develops the html code for the add to cart buttons, which take you to a shopping cart to continue shopping or checkout with google. In other words I took the headache away of installing a level 2 integration. All you have to do is setup your products and paste the html code onto your site. If that doesn't make since ask me more questions, thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
