texte = Well how exactly *does* webmerchant work? They are using the same tools we have right?In my case I simply let the user make his purchase, I save his order to my db with several unknowns, redirect the works to the CC processor (passing all needed arguments), the processor passes back the response, I update my db with the values. This is all via SSL. This is definately not ideal since the user can manipulate the URL going out and coming back in, but when my client wants to do a batch it is still less work for her to quickly cross reference the CC auth status (which is certainly right on the CC processor's server), and proper $total (which is certainly right in her own db) compared to having to do each purchase by hand. Plus I use an extra redirect so the critical URL displays for as little time as possible, and rarely will a user come along who is knowledgeable enough and inclined enough to attempt the steal in the first place.I definately plan to eventually look deeply at the webmerchant templates unless someone explains here the important details of how they work-JohnJoseph D'Andrea wrote:> At 8:52 PM 6/6/00, John Butler wrote: > >Joe can't you just use triggers to automate the whole thing? > > Sort of...
