Most people either use WebMerchant to clear the cards directly on the server, or they send an email with an https: URL leading to a page that has the credit card and order info in it.What software is being used to pick up the orders? Can it run on the same server as WebCatalog? If so, it can just read files locally. If not, can your software access an SSL web page? If so, it can hit a URL on the WebCatalog site with all the credit info securely served.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
