Implementing 3D Secure (Cardinal) using WPP (UK)

I will have the details at work and can let you know tomorrow?

Thanks, tomorrow is fine.

gregger:

A question though.. Does the change that's being developed only support 3D for Maestro or will it add Mastercard and Visa 3D as well?
Maestro/MasterCard SecureCode and Visa VBV will be supported when transacted using PayPal Website Payments Pro UK and Cardinal Commerce.

Thanks DrByte... Looking forward to it.

So my site can't accept Maestro payments until 3D secure is worked out for ZenCart? Is this thread the place to be notified of a solution as soon as one arrives? Is there an ETA? Thanks...

Hello Everyone. Is there any news on this? It would be really helpful to have some kind of time-scale so we know whether just to sit tight or look for an alternative solution, as most of our transactions are done via Maestro.

Many thanks
Ru

Sit tight.

DrByte:

Sit tight.

How long for is the question?

the weeks are slipping by with still no answers as to when this will be implemented...

I'm just writing something so that I get notified when something happens on this subject.
I'm sitting tight, like DrByte says.
Some of my daft customers don't read the large message I put up saying don't use Maestro, but still they try!:P

Why don't you turn Maestro off within Configuration/Credit Cards for the time being?

To be honest, this is nothing short of a disaster, if there is no support for 3D Secure and Maestro.

Ive been a firm believer in the Zen Cart project, and been looking forward to developing my projects further. But with no road map developments and now no support for a major credit card provider, I have one very unhappy client on my hands, and I cant just promise him that it will be fixed 'soon'.

I mean this sincerely, thanks to the dev team and everyone involved in the Zen Cart project for all their hard work, but it looks like this is where my own personal path and interest in this project ends, and Im sure it will for other UK users too, unless some announcement is made in the next few days (or hours hopefully).

I think project is on the last leg anyway ..zencart 2.0 was promised more than a year back and now no card support . We do not have any new projects starting on zencart and we are moving all the older projects to new carts.

Not taking maestro cards is not an option as you are limiting customers ...ie lot of them has only a maestro debit card .

As of now we have a written our own dirty module to get card numbers if maestro is involved on some of our sites and process it manually till we migrate the shopping cart.

I agree with the previous two posts.

I have nothing but respect for the work that the Zen cart team puts in, however, our company just cannot afford to move forward with an e-commerce solution that takes so long to adapt to critical changes in payment processing like this ( there was plenty of warning )

Our clients have lost an awful lot of real money and I have to take all the phone calls and justify zencart, this is getting harder and harder. :frusty:

I joined this discussion on 18th Nov 2009 (post #6). Very little has changed since then, and I and my company are extremely disappointed. I migrated my eCommerce website to Zen Cart in October 2009. I wanted to sponsor the project and be as active in supporting it as I possibly could. I fee very, very let down. It would have been better if someone could have told me back then that this was a low priority, i.e., unlikely to happen, fix. Is it because the Zen Cart team see this as a "UK only" issue? Why not just tell us?

In my business I try my best to manage customers' expectations as best as I can. I give the customers all the information that they need to make the best decisions for them. I really don't feel that the Zen Cart team are doing the same for us UK users.

Its difficult to criticize the zen cart team as most of us could only begin to imagine what it is like to support a project as massive as this. I hope this post doesnt get too critical... however its difficult not to be critical when peoples incomes and livelihoods depend on this.

Zencart is an opensource project and changes are made by the community. People volunteer their time to make changes .
So if you want a feature , you have to develop it .

Having said that Zencart lately is an opensource project with closed source developement. A small team decides what features are needed and how developement should progress.

The problem here is , paypal should have never been a core module if the core group of developers are not able maintain it. It should have been a contributed module where people can make changes to make it work with 3D Secure.

There are 2 options ( quick fixes)

1. hack the core /
   There is a 3d secure module available for OScommerce and you can adapt it .

2 Get the manual card processing module and write card details to a csv file and use paypal's bulk processing tool.
( Be very careful, if you are in UK you need to be registered with dataprotection etc to take cards manually . Security issues are there )

FYI ... there are technical issues with the Cardinal API which we're waiting on them to sort out. An update will be posted when it's resolved and ready for release.

It isn't allowed to blatantly advertise on these forums, but I think that site owners of UK based Zen Cart sites posting here will be pleased to know that a solution does now exist for Pay Pal Pro UK with 3D Secure.

As we had to pay to develop this module it is not currently available for free, but it is available. The Maestro problem has been resolved, including the problem of Maestro cards which are not enrolled for 3D Secure.

Please don't post here and clutter up this thread. You can contact us via our website.

Remember - this is for "Pay Pal Pro UK" ONLY.

So it is now 2 weeks later and still no update? I have applied for 3D-Secure via Paypal and Cardinal Commerce and they had a drop down for Zen Cart... Does this mean it is now ready to go? If not, are there other payment providers out there that we can use with Zen Cart?

The majority of the technical issues appear to be resolved and we hope to post the code very soon after some feedback from PayPal.

Google checkout is a good alternative, with the same rates and no set up fees. Just no ability to pay with paypal balance. Is that all go with Zen?
