But if you use PayPal, you are subject to their terms, which aren't that great, especially when not shipping a physical product.
A merchant account from Charge.com or similar, so you can use Linkpoint, Authorize.net, etc. is the "best" way to go. AFAIK, they are also far easier to integrate programmatically than PayPal. -Michael -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 12:11 PM To: Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion; Herman Webley Cc: Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-biz] credit card payment Herman, I would use Paypal. It is most fluid and pretty straight forward to include in your system. Before, it was compulsory for people paying you to be member of paypal. Since a few months it is no longer necessary so anyone with Credit card can purchase credit from you. Selon Herman Webley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi all, > > I am developing a calling card product.
