Re: [TCLUG:906] Web Credit Transactions - Some Pointers???




It looked as if the SET stuff I checked out was for the entire process.
i.e., for a monthly fee, they will provide secure web access, AND process
the credit card numbers received.  Is this an accurate assumption??

If I already had a way to process the credit card numbers (i.e., from doing
it manually before), could I just use a form running off a secure web
server?  Get the card number and run it manually?

I'm sure there's more to this...

I'm very new to this, so please bear with me...
