If you're asking how to accomplish the process in general, start-to-finish, that's a pretty in-depth question. You'll need the merchant to sign up with a cc processor (I've worked with Verisign and Authorizenet and both are easy to work into an existing shopping cart) and make sure that cc processor is acceptable to the bank (the last time I worked with BofA they *insisted* that, supposedly out of fraud-protection concerns, my client either use their own very expensive Cybercash reseller or take all their merchant business elsewhere, which they did). Then you need to enable a secure connection for your payment process. This might entail using a shared secure certificate from your ISP, or buying one in the client's name and having your ISP install it. The latter option is arguably better but, for certificate licensing reasons, should only be done if the client hosts their domain in one piece somewhere. Once you have the above you need to code in the secure connection into your cart software, along with your payment gateway link. The exact procedure will vary widely depending on payment processor and cart software. If you don't have a cart and need something CF_Webstore is a very good, inexpensive package. --------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc., www.mysecretbase.com --------------------------------------- ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: megan sherman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 18:53:04 -0700 Hi all, I've been getting deeper into cold fusion, and it's working out quite well. I have a client who wants credit card processing. But his domain is hosted with a service that doesn't support cold fusion. So I've been handling the non-database portion of his web site by uploading html files to his server, and for database requirements I've been calling cfm files from the server that hosts my domain. If cold fusion processing takes place on my server, can he still get credit card processing (from BofA or the like)? If so, how?
