We have an artist site selling unique and limited quantity items. During the checkout process, I do a named lock, check to be sure the quantities for the items haven't changed due to a sale or something else, charge the credit card, then commit the order to the db.
I think our sales are hurt because people don't know us well enough to trust us with their credit card numbers. I think using paypal would help with that. The problem is, I can't lock the items while the user goes to paypal to pay and wait for them to come back. Does paypal offer anything that would allow them to pay with paypal, but do so instantly like a normal cc charge? Something I can do on our site's backend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
