osCommerce and payment help

[[email protected]]

A friend of mine is soon to launch a new company (which I am helping with) and has decided to use osCommerce for the shopping cart system. I have no previous knowledge of this system and wanted to know how we can use credit card transactions with it.

I've looked at the payment section but do not fully understand it.... can the script make the transactions for you?

Thank you

It's actually very simple.

OSC comes with quite a few payment "gateway" modules like PayPal, Authorize.net, WorldPay, etc. To boot, you can download contributions to just about every other pmt module. IF you have a merchant account through a company that provides you with it's own house gateway (not Authorize.net) find out if they have module made for OSCommerce carts. If they do not, then switch your gateway to Authorize.net.

All you have to do to enable these modues is log in to your admin panel which is found at http://www.*YOURSITENAME*.com/catalog/admin. This should be the exact path unless you chose to install OSC in a folder other than the default /catalog folder.

Once logged in, find a link for madules and select the payment module and from there you can select the payment modules you want to be active and configure them. It is really pretty simple.

You are better off asking OSC questions at the OSC forums found at the OSC site. You will get more responses. There you can also download free, user-developed contributions.
