Sorry about the multiple threads but its pretty obvious that if I don't get any replies, I'm going to try another angle ! I would gladly remove/edit posts but this forum does not provide this possibility.

Payline is dead as my web host doesn't offer Soap support, which Payline needs. Paypal is installed and works but doesn't offer the possibility of debitting the balance of an order when the goods are dispatched - I would have to ask the customers to pay by email which means that if they don't look at their emails then I won't get paid. Atos is the French bank module which allows me to initiate payment of the balance without having to ask the client to do it. So, I'll be using Paypal for goods which are fully paid for when the order is placed (I'll give a small discount for this) and Atos for the others. The only problem remaining is that Atos ignores the "if" statement in the php code where I ask for only orders above 200 Euros to be taken into consideration.

That's the problem in a nutshell.

Thanks

Pete
