Hallo, that's my problem: I'd like to build up a shopping-system that's working with credit-cards(it's the customers wish). It's the first time I have to deal with this. How is the checking of the valid credit-card-number being done?? Which institution must be contacted by the server?? In realtime ( I mean is the contact with the client browser being held)?? Is this possible with Zope and in which way?? Thanks for the help Sven -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

You can do CyberCash verfication and charging using the Wampum product, that can be found on the zope.org website. I have no idea why it's called Wampum though. -- Itamar S.T. itamar@maxnm.com Fingerprint = D365 7BE8 B81E 2B18 6534 025E D0E7 92DB E441 411C

It's an American term, derived from the some groups of the first indigenous people in America who refered to whatever was used for exchanges as "Wampum". I'm not sure if this is historically accurate or part of the white's apocrypha regarding Native Americans. ciao! greg.

Look at: http://www.thebeadsite.com/FRO-WAPM.htm Wampum is beads. And the kolonists made that into money. But the Wampum Generator was certainly named with the 'white' definition of the meaning of the word. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ | ZopeStudio: http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeStudio -----------------------------------------------------
Hi, from your emailadress I guess you are from Germany :-). Here the situation with online-authorisation of creditcard payments is difficult. The wampum product for example, will not do it here, cause you get no merchant account to use it. In his talk about ecommerce with Zope on the Linuxtag Robert Segal said, that he is still using a kind of offline solution - a separate box, which is connected over a phone line to the authorizer, which is connected over serial line to the Ecommerce server. The problem is not on the technical site, but the banks don't offer this service. They still are pushing the SET (secure electronic transactions) standard. But there is hope. CyberCash Germany offers a new service POSH (Point of sale Hub), which can do exactly, what you want: Creditcard payment authorization over an SSL-conection with an https-server. And even better I have used it already from Zope, and working on, making a Zopeproduct out of it and get it certified with Cybercash. You can get test accounts from Cybercash, just send a mail to support@cybercash.de. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Joachim Schmitz AixtraWare, Ing.
