I should have added one more requirement. Internet authentication like
so many do. Although all that I have worked with require the name to be
entered as text, something that isnt trivial to do (and asking people to
tap out their name via dtmf would be too bothersome).
I would like a merchant solution that would work 100% off someone
calling into the system and entering their data, authentication will
then occur via the internet.
Easy. Get with most any payment gateway and use their api to submit the transactions. The only information that you need from the customer you can get via dtmf. Everything else just put fill in the blanks with whatever you want.
Card number, expiration, amount, cvv, and avs data can all be obtained via dtmf. The rest doesnt' matter. Just fill in whatever you want for the name, email, etc..
Now whether this is a good idea depends, but it's dead simple to implement. I did it a few months back in about an hour.
