    Would you be interested in this app for e-commerce?

    Guess it all depends on things like the cost of the app, and what data would be available. A lot of shopping systems I've seen have options to do things like send an email notification out about new orders (as well as daily/weekly/monthly summaries), and in a some cases that might be enough for...

    Framed payment pages

    That's an idea - hadn't thought of that for some reason. It's not exactly expensive to get a basic SSL cert, and that would at least show the customer a secure URL when they get to the point of entering their card details. It's always the simple answers that are the best!

    Framed payment pages

    Got a merchant (not the same one as in the 'advice needed on shopping cart' thread...) who is using a hosted payment page solution but within an iframe on their site. I'm trying to convince them that this is a bad idea. Even though the hosted payment page is run from a secure server, the...

    Advice needed on shopping cart selection

    Thanks for all the replies - I've had a look round Prestashop and I think it covers most of the merchants requirements out of the box (so to speak...) It seems to be relatively simple to customise, it only took a few hours to get a basic theme up and running that had the main style aspects of...

    Advice needed on shopping cart selection

    It's what the merchant has requested - I think he has some PHP experience and wants the option to be able to tinker with things himself in the future. I know he built his current website (the current design is actually pretty good) but that doesn't have an e-commerce aspect to it and he wants...

    Advice needed on shopping cart selection

    Prestashop seems to be getting the most votes so far on this, so I think I'll have a look round that over the next few days and see how it works out. It's only a small site (a small specialist clothing store with a limited product range) and I think that Magento would be too complicated.

    Question about 3D Secure

    Thanks, I'll have a look round sagepay and see if it would be able to be used in the way they want with their existing system.

    Question about 3D Secure

    I can't see them agreeing to change gateway, so looks like they won't be able to do what they want. Thanks all.

    Question about 3D Secure

    To use that two-transaction model with their acquirer, they have to change to have every transaction processed that way, they can't choose to have some done that way and not others. It would also mean that they have to then manually accept every transaction as that's how their acquirer system...

    Question about 3D Secure

    That's kind of what we thought would be the case, though we so far have not been able to get an answer one way or the other from the merchants acquirer. We do the web site development for them, and what they wanted to do was to be able to offer a discount from the final price if (amongst other...

    Question about 3D Secure

    Hi, we have a customer who wants to use their 3D Secure MPI in a slightly unusual way. This isn't a 'how' question, as we have figured out that we can make their MPI do what they want, this is more of a 'what if' question... What they want to do is to be able to authenticate (i.e. 3D Secure)...
