RE: [OT] Anyone using OSCommerce and taking Credit Cards ?

["Dean Barrett" <dean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Neil

Can people pay via PayPal without creating an account ? - if so that will
probably be ok - i think people would be put off if they have to create an
account to make a payment.

My 'Masses' is hopefully going to start at a couple of orders a week and
grow from there - i cant see more than a dozen transactions a week, but it
would be nice :)

I'm going to speak to Barclaycard Merchant Services about their En@ble
service - this give a merchant number in 24hrs and is suitable for internet
'start-ups'...





Dean.

Depends on your volume of transactions.

Can you define "masses"?

Email me of list as its probably not relevant to the majority.
