Credit card payment tool

Hi,

Can somebody recommend a secure tool for PHP to can accept credit card payments? It must integrate in a way that allows the contemporary use of a PayPal integration. Both, free code or commercial components are welcome.

Thanks,
John

About a year ago, students from a tech institute I was realted to, developed an academic project on e-commerce, using D4PHP 2. It was a virtual store that sells Music CDs.

They used an API provided by PayPal, and tested the app on a "sandbox" to play with dummy data. If I don't recall wrong, there was an option to use PayPal account or credit card payments. There was plenty and good documentation on how to do it.

Hello,

This seems to be great, but you didn't tell how to reach the project or the makers. Can you give me the link to the project or another contact information?

Thanks,
John

John,

go to https://developer.paypal.com/ and sign up for a test account.

create a seller Website Payments Pro account (only works for US and UK)

create a buyer account.

get the PayPal NVP PHP API sdk

start testing.

this will allow you to process express checkout and credit card request for
paypal - there are some limitation tho (if you want to support credit card
processing via paypal, then you need to support express checkout, it only
works in some countries and there is a monthly fee you need to pay for the
merchant account.

Kind regards,
Cristian

I have used paypal payments a few times with d4php- the basic's are here:
how use Paypal?

What you need is a merchant service. Either an indipendand merchant (PayPal,eWay, who ever) or a Bank.

They will provide you with one or more options (normally with source code) for processing payments. Real time API's (Ie, you take the CC details, pass it to the gateway and it returns you a response and does the behind the scenes magic) Hosted payment pages which you push the customer to and they return after making payment, or bulk transaction lists.

There are MANY organisations who provide this service. Pick the one which gives you the functionality you need for a price you can afford.

Cheers,
Robin.

Hello everybody who answered this question,

Thanks to you all, I have got very informative answers. I guess PayPal will do it quite well for my purposes.
