RE: [OT] Anyone using OSCommerce and taking Credit Cards ?

Thanks for that Tony - will look at paysystems.

We will take PayPal & Nochex too - I believe some people will be put
off by
them - its simpler for them to enter their CC details straight away.

Question:  Do you *have* to use a UK based system?
I use paysystems, which is US based, but they will bill the customers in
sterling and you get paid in sterling.
They do a payment run every couple of weeks, though you will only receive
payment if the total is greater than =A325 or $50 - something like that
anyway.
They also hold back a small % against chargebacks which you will have
refunded in 6 months or thereabouts.

I went with them because again, transaction volume not expected to be
high, the charges are reasonable, and there's no monthly statement charge
or quarterly account charge - the sort of thing a lot of other companies
seemed to charge.

You could also use paypal or I think linkpoint is supported.

hth,

Tony
