I plan on building a website that accepts payments, and upon the payment being successful, the website knows this, and grants them the privilage they paid for on the site. Don't want to get into specifics of my project, lets just say, for example, they are posting classified ad, and each ad costs $5. Can someone give me a basic outline of the process, I don't know much about SSL, and never could get payment modules in things like oscommerce working.
Please correct me if I'm wrong... : 1. you have order/add the SSL option on your host. 2. going to https opens your site using that SSL encryption. 3. now it's safe to accept a credit car number in a form 4. that form transmits to a 3rd party credit card processing company 5. if the company approves, it extracts the purchase price, applies it's fees, etc 6. then it returns that it was successful or that it wasn't 7. if successful, you flag the order as paid, and do what you want from there. All I know how to use is Paypal, would that be an ok option? If i used paypal, how does my website get an instant confirmation that so it can grant the user the right to post that classified ad, or whatever, does paypal do that? I heard of others, like verisign, but is that just for big dogs? And finally, is this possible in Cake? Again, I don't know much about SSL, from the research I did, I found that it requires it's own IP, and I could get that option on the host, then use some sort of open ssl, if the dedicated IP route is cheaper. Is that right? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
