<snip> So let's say that I want to integrate a shopping cart with a PSP, right up to the moment they get to the checkout, they see my client's URL. They hit the "Checkout" button and then they will see the URL of the PSP? Then once they place the order then they are redirected back to my client's site and see that URL again? Is that an accurate description of how it works? Do you normally have control over the "look and feel" of how the checkout looks on the PSP site?
</snip> Hi Lawrence, The way you explain it is the way that most of the Payment Service providers seem to work. However - depending on the PSP you use will depend on how much of the look and feel you can change. PayPal for example only allows very basic styling, whereas something like WorldPay (not sure if they are UK only) allows you to create templates, so other than the URL the change is seamless. The PSP will send you an email with the order details, and additionally most can post back to a script on your server with the details of the transaction - i.e. did it work? What was the total amount/currency? Etc. You can then use this to validate it's the correct transaction and send your own email/receipt/picking list accordingly. I've worked on a couple of these so if I can be of any help give me a shout. Cheers, Kev -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
