Remotely Hosted Payment Page - Possible?!?!

[jumbuck2]

One last try...

[jumbuck2]

My email is peterston AT bigpond DOT com if you'd like to test this module out. Can't attach it for some reason.

Thanx

I told you to send me the entire module earlier and I gave you my email address.

[jumbuck2]

...sent to your email.

The normal mode of operation is to send a zen cart session id to the payment processor along with the transaction, and when the customer is returned to your site the retun is made with the same session id so that the cart can recognise the order. If the payment procesor does not return the session id, or if they use a session id of their own, then the cart does not recognise the order - the customer is logged out upon their return - their basket is still full - no order confirmation emails get fired off - and the order is not entered into the database.

A generated order id could also be used to track the order, but which method of tracking is used depends upon how the payment module is set up.

Thanks Vger,

I wish Zencart could do what OSCommerce does with remotely hosted payment pages. That EXACT same remotely hosted payment page works perfectly being fed by OSCommerce. See it - http://thefruitboxshop.com/shopping_carts.html

And a little further down on that page is the zencart demo feeding to the SAME payment page. I just don't know enough about it to understand why OSCommerce recognises everything coming back but Zencart doesn't, especially considering they are both sending to exactly the same page. Totally beats me.

But don't take my word for it, try both carts for yourself on the demo page: http://thefruitboxshop.com/shopping_carts.html and remember that you'll be seeing the exact same e-Path payment page when you checkout from both carts.

One works with remotely hosted payment pages, the other doesn't. I'm trying damn hard to come to a different conclusion but its not looking good for Zencart at this stage. I'm still working on it though.

Thanx Vger

zen cart can do everything that osc can do.
and actually alot more.

can you send me the files for OSC.

lets see what is missing from the files you sent me

[Vger]

There is no official 'contribution' for osCommerce for this module - so I don't know where it's coming from - unless it's listed under another name.
