Unique situation....

Hello,

We are a pizza place and would like to sell gift certificates, and possibly limited merchandise online.

Is there anyway to setup a cart (or just a secure page?) where the order and credit card info is transmitted to us securely? We already have a credit card processing company, and would rather do it that way. If not then what would you guys suggest be the easiest cart to use?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Take a look at Zen Cart (www.zen-cart.com), a spinoff of osCommerce that is perhaps easier to set up. There is a provided payment "module" that simply collects the credit card info and makes it available to you for offline processing.

After looking into it some, I have concluded that it would be much easier to set up a secure page and just get the information sent to us. We don't really want our customers to have to login in order to buy gift certificates.

If I set up a cgi script for formmail on the secure url, would that be secure enough?
Maybe I should post under the script section?

Thanks again for your feedback.

If I set up a cgi script for formmail on the secure url, would that be secure enough?
A secure way of doing with just a formmail type script would have it email part of the info to you, as well as a link (https) to the rest of the info that is written to a file. I believe someone had mentioned a similar idea in these forums before. A script to do this can be written in PHP or CGI, perhaps even found at Hotscripts (http://hotscripts.com). SouperMail (http://soupermail.sourceforge.net) is a form processor script that will do this also.

Well I have decided to give ZenCart a try. I have it setup up and have customized quite a bit of it. I am having trouble finding the payment module that collects the info for offline processing. I have checked their website and a lot of their modules don't have any descriptions. Their forums are no help. Any idea which one it is?

Thanks for the help!

All right, I figured out which module to use...it was right under my nose. The actual problem was that I didn't have a shipping module installed, so it wouldn't make it past that step in the checkout process. Everything is ok as far as that is concerned.

Now the problem I am having is that I am not getting any of the adim. e-mails, including the e-mail that has the middle 8 digits of the CC#. The customers receive e-mails just fine (except it always seems to be reported as SPAM), but i don't receive any about the orders. I have tired 2 different e-mail addresses, and nothing. I remember reading somewhere that it will only work if the e-mails are from your domain, example: admin@yoursite.com. Is this true? I haven't been using my domain e-mail, but I guess I might have to.

Thanks for the help (again!).

Ok....well I figured it out. Iwas reading in another thread that AOL has blacklisted any e-mails from Powwebs servers, and in fact it was an AOL address I was trying to send it to. (My boss can't live without his AOL :dunce: ). Stupid AOL, I hate them! :mad:
So I changed it to one of my domain e-mails and everything seems to be working ok.

I am posting the soloutions that I have found so hopefully it may help someone who is having similar problems.
