Okay here we go:
I have designed a shopping cart using PHP and alittle javascript.
It seems in order so my next step is to work on the CHECK OUT.
I know I will need to get a SSL - which I plan on getting through network solutions.
I want to use a Gateway to process the credit card right then on the spot instead of a processor. I hope thats ok.
1.) From what I understand I need to get a merchant account.
2.) I need to use a Credit Card gateway company (Like Authorize.net) to process the Credit card from the customer and send the money to my merchant account.
3.) I need to incorporate the gateway code into my checkout php form.
Am I right so far?
Questions?
1.) Where should I get a merchant account? What are the company names???
2.) What payment gateway processor is good (ie: Authorize.net) ???
3.) Is incorporating the gateway or processor code into my php form hard?
Thanks all for reading…
