Re: [SLUG] e-commerce software
anybody know of any linux compatable e-commerce software that works with creditcard sales in australia which is free??? Check out Caldera eBuilder: http://www2.calderasystems.com/company/press/000417ebuilder.html. I cannot answer as to its ability to handle credit card sales as yet. I hope to do a review of this product when it is next released -- which I hear is to be soon.

I'm putting together a system right now that employs the services of Card Access Services. Of course, I had to write the interface to their CAS Direct (https) interface myself in perl, but if you've got the time and effort, all you pay for is CAS Direct's services.

Re: [SLUG] e-commerce software
Define E-Commerce ? What do you mean by E-Commerce, are you after: a) A Web-site complete with catalogues and back-end ERP intergration custom taylored to your business. b) An internet based EDI mechanism for handling orders from customers using a variety of formats and transfer mechanisms. c) Just want to clear credit cards ? In our case we use a clearing house for credit card transactions, the protocol is a simple text handshake (similar to smtp) tunnelled over a VPN to the clearing house. No software involved really! (Unless 10-20 lines of perl count). Cheers Jason.

Re: [SLUG] e-commerce software
Perl has credit card modules i beleive, however ive never used them and dont know just how well they would werk here in Aus. I _doubt_ there is anything like lotus that is GPL, generally i think the idea is to build little generic modules and glue them together as you want. Like shell commands sorta. Monolithic apps are good in some ways. But i prefer apps with a single task that can work well with others. (my 2c) Dean [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Define E-Commerce ?

Business::CreditCard implements the classis credit card
checksum algorithm. That's it! (they promise to offer C/Card
m,erchant connection facilities in the future ;-)

It ain't rocket science to roll your own :)
Lotus would not be approrpiate for an e-commerce solution IMHO.
Neither would Domino.

Hmmm ... methinks the "e-commerce" buzzword is more hype
than reality. e-commerce is, as you say, really just gluing
pieces of existing technology together, i.e.
(*) online credit card merchant facility
(*) a web server or three
(*) a database
(*) a persistence mechanism ("sessions") for shopping carts
(*) a good MIS in the backend to control and track it all
(*) some scripts to glue it all together
Nothing new there. And all doiable "free", in both senses
of the word.
The only thing it costs is your time.
Now, a GNU e-commerce solution ... hmmm. Roll your own
and make it opensource ;-)

Re: [SLUG] e-commerce software
Now, a GNU e-commerce solution ... hmmm. Roll your own and make it opensource ;-) OpenMerchant from www.opensales.com? It's GPL, written in Perl, and I've never played with it, beyond the online demos (customer and admin). :) It provides a lot of the functionality you've mentioned, and I'm considering using it soonish... It's either that or rolling my own. - Jeff --- e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: rsn i: 16341281 (jdub!) q: "The ability to procrastinate is what separates us from the machines." - Chris Gregory, Desktop Magazine -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
Re: [SLUG] e-commerce software
Guys, I wrote an article on phpbuilder.com about this very subject :) www.phpbuilder.com The example uses cURL and PHP and will talk to St George, NAB(though NetRegistry) and Camtech with a bit of playing around.

Dean Hamstead [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hmmm ... methinks the "e-commerce" buzzword is more hype than reality. e-commerce is, as you say, really just gluing "e" is glued on eveything thing these days, ain't that the truth! And I wish all this "dot com" shit would disappear too! Got my phone bill yesterday from Telstra and it's full of the "visit telstra.com - we're your dot com" or some crap. But most amusingly of all, the make a point in the marketing wank of emphasizing their "Australian-ness" and then go and shout about their new American domain name.
