You can do that with PayPal. In fact I have done it for a few clients before. PayPal has an API that allows you to use your own custom form residing on your website (not there's) once you hit submit it discreetly does the processing on PayPal servers. The user can enter their credit card details and never leaves your website. The PayPal Package you are interested in is called Website Payments Pro . https://www.x.com/community/ppx/wpp Steve ----- "Calvin Omari" <calvinebarongo@gmail.com> wrote:
Thanks so much Steve for your insight, I have considered paypal but it has its shortcomings, mostly I would like to have a way you select the card (either, VISA, AMerican Express, etc) then you put the credit card number, then the last digits (security code) then finaly the expiry date just like when you buy an app from apple store With Kind Regards

I am most familiar with PayPal, but I am sure other services work in a similar way to what am going to explain
1. SSL, you host should provide you with an option for this. usually you'd have to pay more. Some shared hosting services will give it to you as part of the package. Once its set up then all you'll need to do is use https:// on the permitted URL to get it working.
2.. Since am familiar with PayPal... Simply go into your account and hit the Withdraw Tab. You should be able to transfer the amount you want to the Bank account you verified. Unfortunately I understand if you are in Kenya you cannot do this.
3. PayPal or other Merchant services should handle credit card validations for you.
4. To make the process seamless, the merchant service will provide you with an API and templates you can customize.
Other merchants in addition to PayPal include World Pay, 2CheckOut, Money Bookers etc etc.
You will have to go their websites and follow instructions. For PayPal here's the link
