I had to create a store inside my Rev software which did not use a browser. Unlike with others, my software has requirements which made use of a browser difficult (for example, the software is driven by a touch screen and any given user may need to use the store often). I found it to be fairly straightforward to integrate a credit processing system directly into Rev, tying it into Authorize.net. It's completely secure, but it does require the Rev Enterprise version. One advantage of this approach is I can easily generate software serial numbers or anything else required by the application since everything happens within Rev (and, of course, I have complete flexibility with how the store looks and operates).

I also used a Rev cgi to duplicate all of this via my online store... mainly to save the expense of using any outside service for card processing beyond that used in my Rev application.

My customers do not seem worried about security issues as I simply tell them I never maintain their card data. They seem to accept this explanation just as readily as believing the card information would not be retained through a browser-based store.

What is the benefit of replicating the web payment form in the software?

That side of eSellerate is cute, but it wouldn't matter if you had to go to a web page. It's just the not having to sign up for something part that I like.
