Cardservice International

OK, here's a dumb question. From what I can see from Cardservice International you can dump the money into your regular checking account kinda like Paypal, instead of having a merchant account.

Am I figuring that right?

It looks it would be around $25.00 plus $.25 a transaction.

If I don't need a merchant account that would be all I pay to have cards processed, wouldn't it?

When you use Cardservice, do the item descriptions show up, unlike Paypal IPN?

Thanks,

Scott

card services is the merchant account,
they use linkpoint as the gateway

Thanks for the response. I can't seem the get my Paypal IPN to work and I'm thinking I will go with them. The one thing I don't like about Paypal is that the item details don't show up. Do you know if the item details show up with Cardservice?

there is not an invoice sent from CSI
the customer and you will receive your invoices from Zen Cart,

OK, cool.

I suppose I use the Linkpoint payment module for this?

I think I will sign up today and get my site live this weekend. I appreciate your help.

(This is the SAME way the PayPal IPN module works ... customers rely on the Zen Cart data for the detailed invoice.)
