The site is a subscription service, with recurring charges yearly. At the moment, I'm thinking it would be more secure to not save the CC info and simply ask the user to re-enter it once a year, as this would prevent any security holes from exposing credit card #'s, so I don't need anything that will save the info. The process is basically: they sign up, the application makes sure the charge went through ok, and then they get access to the site (and no, it's not porn). I've looked on CodeSine's site, and got a list of about 7 different products that had more or less the same description, so I don't really know which applies best to my situation. From searching these forums I've also seen references to Verisign, are they any good? I'm most concerned with speed and security, and getting something relatively inexpensive would be nice also. What do you guys recommend? Huge TIA. 2003-08-21T11:12:33-04:00315350http://forums.asp.net/p/315322/315350.aspx/1?Re+Looking+for+a+credit+card+transaction+service You may want to check out the web services on XMethods.net or look into a component from Component Source. You should find quite a few there. Don't forget though you will want this secured via an SSL connection. Although it you have this running on a Win 2k or Win 2k3 server (assuming that is the case 99.99999% of the time), you can set up your own cert server or download free secured certs from MS and other CAs. 2003-08-21T11:58:33-04:00316079http://forums.asp.net/p/315322/316079.aspx/1?Re+Looking+for+a+credit+card+transaction+service strangeduck, All of our components on our site do essentially the same thing - which is exactly what you described you needed. The difference being that each component is designed to work with a specific gateway. We have started off with the popular ones and will continue to grow this list. Authorize.Net is a very good company and our AuthNet component will do exactly what you need. Our process is 100% transparent to your clients and you have full control over the credit card process. Authorize.Net (As well as most of the gateways) will store the customer information and credit card on their servers as well should you not want to store this sensitive data on your site. You will still want a SSL Cerftificate for the site to keep the whole checkout (payment) process sercure.

The developer obtaines the proper information from their customer in what ever method they like and then supplies the required information to our properties. We format the data to the correct gateway API specifications, initiate a HTTPS post to Authorize.Net and then return and parse the response. This information is then made available via our return properties. From here the developer can check the approval response and then decide to update the order, continue on, etc. This all takes place behind the scenese so the customer never leaves your website or webpage for that matter. Hope this helps to clear it up. 2003-08-22T18:16:22-04:00317437http://forums.asp.net/p/315322/317437.aspx/1?Re+Looking+for+a+credit+card+transaction+service So the connection between the web server and your server still needs an SSL connection for a truly secured transaction? What's your e-mail so I can ping you offline.

To save you some time our email is: support@nospam.codesine.com (remove the obvious). Our code initiates a HTTPS post to the gateway so this data is secure when transmitted, but you should have a SSL Certificate to provide your clients with a Secure Connection. If you already had the data then you could just supply it to our component and our post will be secure, but since your using a form on your website to collect data from your users this should really be done via a SSL Browser Connection. We have no control over that. TIM 2003-08-24T17:30:05-04:00
