Hi all,

I may soon be quoting for an application that requires Credit Card
details to be taken (booking over the internet).

I assume that I don't store the details of people's cards on my db or do
I have to in case of a dispute?

Does anybody have any recommendations about C.C. components -
verification? Any other references, URLs &c?

Paul...

There are several ways to go about this, but my favorite is
http://www.mercurypay.com because you (the developer) get a large
chunk of the commisions (for as long as the client stays on that
account!).

You will need to hook your app to a transaction clearing house, where they
will process the transaction. I am looking at doing the same thing here in
Australia and plan on going with the ANZ bank. Here is a link about their
Egate portal. The good thing with this is that I can have the Bank host the
payment details - ie, when it comes time to pay with Credit Card details,
the ANZ website will pop up to take their details.

You can of course provide the details to the bank without having them host
it, but there are stringent security measures that need to take place first.
If you are not in Australia you will probably want to have another
instituition do the clearing. I recommend downloading and installing
ShopFactory. It is a program that builds shopping cart applications. The
good thing with it is that it lists a whole heap of transaction clearing
houses that you can use with the website. You may not build your shopping
cart with ShopFactory, but at least you'll get a start on a list of clearing
houses.

HTH,
