Hi Skunks,
Trust your weekend is cool,
I am pondering on how to incorporate a credit card payment solutions to a website I am working on and to enable payment online, anybody who has done so (especially on php) please adivice on how to go about the following
Not sure about local solutions - I've heard I&M might provide the service.
However, most payment gateway providers publish documentation on how to integrate: http://developer.authorize.net/ Or Paypal as Steve mentioned
1. Security levels e.g SSL (verisgn etc)
This is part of your application. Most API calls to payment gateway are done via secure connections
2. How the transaction is done between banks or and the website
the short version (probably the general case) You need - a merchant account with a bank - this is where your money goes - an account with a payment gateway - payments are processed through the gateway
- client provides payment information depending on type of card (names on card, card number, CVV code, address) - You push the card info plus your transaction information to the payment gateway (Usually secure http POST) - You process the response from the payment gateway - success or failure (might include the reason for the failure) - sometimes funds are not captured immediately from the client's bank - you might have to provide a callback service to which the payment gateway sends the result of capture (or failure) - proceed with fulfillment of what was paid for
3. Credit Card validation - how to verify whether the card is genuine
Assuming by genuine you mean, that which belongs to the owner, it might come down to simply deciding how confident you are that the client is who they say they are (existing clients will be less bothersome) : check items like location, address information, value of transaction e.t.c
4. How to make the transaction semaless and secure
:: Seamless - you could store card and address info - so that check out simply involves confirmation - also allows you to execute scheduled charges (recurring services) :: protect sensitive information (card numbers, cvv e.t.c)
This is a broad area - would suggest some research
my two dururus
