Hi all, I was wondering whether there is someone who can point me in using some components which lets me accept credit carts through a payment gateway. I already implemented PayPal but I would now like to implement credit cards. I find out on these forums that there is one called Authorize.net but I do not know how to use and whether I can find some sample code. Thanks
Authorize.net is real easy to integrate. It basically takes a HTTP Get / Post request from your application. See http://developer.authorize.net/api/aim/
Thanks very much for the reply. So basically we can use Athorize.net for free since we are discount asp.net members, or is there a credit card processing fee??
You cannot use authorize.net for free, no. You would have to open an account with them. Bruce was suggesting their service because their integration method is relatively simple. There is no such thing as free credit card processing. Every processor is going to charge a per transaction fee.
Hi Thanks for the help. I would like to ask last question. If i use this would I need to apply for SSL for my website???
Not technically, but who would send you a credit card number if you do not have HTTPS enabled on your site?
