Re: [PHP] Credit Card processing: Chase PaymenTech
Thanks, Guys -- To those who say 'move providers' -- I can't. My client, which also sells a bunch of other stuff on-line has an exclusive arrangement with that processor. How about using gateway providers? Any experience with that?

Ken - I think your first step is to find another provider, support is everything, your code can be 110% correct, but if there is 1 item wrong in the comms you have with PaymenTech, then you can spend hours if not days with a broken application. This recently happened with me and HSBC bank in the UK, rubbish support, my code look right, but nothing worked, until after a number of days I managed to get through to one of the developers of there payment gateway system, he was able to a make a few changesto the xml I sending and just like that I was able to process payments.

I don't have anything for you but if they're that bad with responses can you switch to another payment provider?

Their system is cURL based. fabulously reliable, and we would have used it for our own company except that it supports only CAN and USD. The second is WorldPay, a subsidiary of The Royal Bank of Scotland. Supports a raft of credit cards and just about any currency you care for. Downside? Your customers are taken to a WorldPay site - which you can sort of decorate like your own - and then are sent back to your site. They also rely on *timing* for completion of transactions. Sort of lousy. Nevertheless, we will see. General reflection? All these companies seem to want your business, but then are hellaciously slow in providing basic information, responding to questions, etc. Good luck - you will need it in some measure.
