Is It Possible To Do A Cardholder Not Present (Manual Payment)?

A prospective client of mine has a system that they are keen to have redeveloped. Currently, on completion, their site sends the user to a third party site where they enter their card details and that ends the transaction. My prospective client then logs in to the third party site and accesses those payment details and then processes the payment through their in-shop-terminal as a 'carholder not present' transaction.

They are keen to keep this functionality even if I redevelop the site and won't be convinced to have a new more automated approach.

Can Zen-Cart cater for this style of transaction, or would I have to find or make a custom payment module to interface with his current payment site?

Many thanks, Jim

Who is the processor?
Really hard to determine when "who" it is - is not referenced...

I know, sorry - I was just looking it up as I didn't get the information together before I started :lookaroun

Their old site was built with ecbuilder. The site sends the user to their payment site ecplace.com

Thanks for the reply.

Jim

I do not see them referencing a payment module as you have posted

http: //www.maximizer.com/solutions/ecbuilder/gateway.html

Maybe because the site was started over 9 years ago according to the shop builder. It is an older version of the ecbuilder software than the current that he used. Perhaps that is why it uses the secure area on ecplace to gather the info that he uses to make a cardholder not present transaction... Anyway, that is what happens.

You should be able to use the credit card module that comes with Zen Cart which emails part of the customer's cc number to the shop owner. The rest has to be retrieved from the database. The number can then be processed manually using a cc terminal. I haven't used this module, so I don't have any detailed knowledge of it.

Thanks Afo, that gives me a lead to investigate - it's quite a learning curve for me at this point... :unsure:

Like most things, there's a learning curve with Zen Cart. You might want to poke around in the tutorials/FAQ (link at top of page).

Wow, that was easy... That's the first problem that I have had which has been sooooooo easy to fix!

Many thanks for pointing the link out. Zen-cart is so complicated for novices that a little help and positive friendly attitude early on goes a long way!

Jim :D

p.s. BTW I have waded for days in the faq / help sections for other things, I'd hate you to think I make a habit of being lazy ;)

Most of the time, it just seems complicated. You'll get the hang of it.

You're so right man, I feel like I've come a million miles in the last four weeks...

Using this method, one needs to attend to PCI compliance rules and most of these are in written procedures that the client MUST have concerning access to this data, it's storage, who can access, where this is stored, how it is stored, how it is transmitted, etc, etc

Thanks for that. If the tender succeeds then I will attend to these factors.
