    We are currently looking for an off the shelf credit card processing software that can be used in a batch mode. Does anyone have any suggestion as to a reliable software that we can accomplish the task with?

    Skan If you knew it would not compile why didn't you tell me?!?!?!

        I am not sure if you are being faceous or helpful. But if your gesture is of the latter then here goes the answere to your question: I am currently writing an application for a Company and we have created an input form where the user input their information and on submit their info. It is then appended to a text file and at the end of the day the CC application (which I am looking for )should then be able to fed the batch input of text file with CC numbers and amounts and it will capture the date then process it. We also need text (report) output of sucess (with conf number) and failure (with reason).

          Credit card processing should not be done by bath, too many things can go wrong.

            You may be right. But with fields validatation I can not see what kind of error can befall the correct data processing. Every field will be validated before the form is submitted and data appended the text file. Hence unless the information is completely wrong I can not foresee any dangers in doing in this.

              Software or hardware failures could cause you to actually lose the list of card to process. Trust me, this is not the right way to do it.

                Also... is it legal to have a 'database' or whatever you would call it of creditcardnumbers? Anyway as far as I know, in my country, it's not possible to write this software yourself, you have to do it in collaboration with your bank. They probably have procedures for this, as you are most likely to not be the first person to write a credit card-related application.


                Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you? public object moo { __get { return moo; } __set { moo = value; } }

                  Yes it is legal, just damn stupid. But having it in a flat file is even more risky. Most people will store a hash copy so it is protected. Also you would be wasting your time to try and set up your own portal for credit cards, there are many payment services out there that have been established for a long time and also have a nice big insurance bill to protect everyone from a problem.

                    Tell us who you're building the site for so we can all make sure to avoid it.

                    -- CleaKO The sad part about this instance is that none of the users ever said anything [about the problem]. Pete O`Hanlon Doesn't that just tell you everything you need to know about users?
