Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Re: Slightly OT: Credit Card acceptance and processing

2006-12-13 Thread Mike Staver
Has anybody used PAYNET SYSTEMS before? I have a client who signed up 
for them and insists on using them.  www.paynetsystems.com is their 
website, and I'm just wondering if anybody has opinions on them.  I want 
no part of storing CC numbers on this system for this client - I know 
with companies like PayPal, you can have the transaction take place 
completely off site and get redirected back.  That's the kind of thing 
I'm looking for at this point I think.

Be aware that every single question must be answered Yes or N/A, otherwise 
you're not compliant and really only a handful of the questions deal with data

I may not exactly be on topic, but we had to prove Payment Card Industry
Compliance (PCI) for the credit cart processing performed by our system for

Our Gateway recommended Ambiron Trust http://www.atwcorp.com/ for proof of

So far I am quite impressed with their service.

Yes, but the scanning is dirt cheap.  If you hang on to the data,  
that's when compliance can get expensive.

Several questions regarding payments via a website.

3) Any tips on what types of credit cards to not accept (for any

Subject: Re: ColdFusion vs .Net

Some remaining questions that he would like to have answered are:

 

1) What limitations will we face in the future if .Net is selected as
opposed to ColdFusion, and vice versa?  Will the decision to go with one
technology result in functional limitations at some point in the future?  

In other words, what scenarios may come up in the future that we may kick
themselves for selecting one vs. the other?  Is there any documentation out
there that can outline the limitations of ColdFusion?

2) What is the estimated reduction in maintenance effort from selecting
ColdFusion instead of .Net?

3) What are the software/hardware costs associated with selecting ColdFusion
vs. .Net?

4) What, if any, performance differences will exist between .Net and
ColdFusion?

7. Since you are going directly from your server to the  
processor (Nova),

you do not pay a middle man for gateway services as in the case of
Authorize.net, cybercash or other services.
8. I use this solution. So far this year, my sales are at just  
under
$50,000. My TOTAL credit card costs for the year to date is  
$1,095.00 or,
2.2% of total sales. That includes everything to do with the  
credit card
processing. I can assure you that when the dust settles, you  
will not

realize such a low cost with any other solution.

Subject: Slightly OT: Credit Card acceptence and processing

Good morning all,

Several questions regarding payments via a website.

1) Are fees fixed or a percentage of the transaction?

2) What are some suggestions for the most reliable/affordable  
provider of

merchant transaction processing?

3) Any tips on what types of credit cards to not accept (for  
any reason)?


Thanks,
Tom

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Client talking points redux

2006-12-13 Thread Tepfer, Seth
Charlie, I'd like to get your assistance with the questions below. How
much is your fee to consult for an hour or so on the questions
delineated below? When would you be available to talk? 



To: Tepfer, Seth
Subject: Re: ColdFusion vs .Net

Some remaining questions that he would like to have answered
are:

 

1) What limitations will we face in the future if .Net is
selected as opposed to ColdFusion, and vice versa?  Will the decision to
go with one technology result in functional limitations at some point in
the future?  

In other words, what scenarios may come up in the future that we
may kick themselves for selecting one vs. the other?  Is there any
documentation out there that can outline the limitations of ColdFusion?

2) What is the estimated reduction in maintenance effort from
selecting ColdFusion instead of .Net?

3) What are the software/hardware costs associated with
selecting ColdFusion vs. .Net?

4) What, if any, performance differences will exist between .Net
and ColdFusion?

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Re: Slightly OT: Credit Card acceptence and processing

2006-12-13 Thread Dean H. Saxe
What about the costs of compliance with the PCI DSS standard?  Figure  
that into your equation before trying to accept credit cards.
