Credit Card Processing

[yubaraj]

I am building a site that is like ebay. Its a bidding site and is different from e-commerce site (in which the user with the cart info is redirected to the paypal secure site). In my case, there need to be credit card form where customer enters credit card number, type ,expiray date, identification no and their details. When these customers enters the information, these data should be validated and tested. My problem is i am not getting the way how to validate the that credit card form and can anybody tell me how to validate and check the credit card processing.My form is somehow like thishttp://www.allticketclub.com/loginform.htmsign in as yubak123@yahoo.com and yubaraj as password.http://www.allticketclub.com/index.php?p=A...%26edvid%3D1923How to process this form and get customer to secure site.

first question. Do you have SSL installed? If the site is not secure you cannot process sensitive information like credit cards.

In order to process credit cards, you need to get a merchant account from a bank and you need an account with a processing gateway, in addition to your SSL certificate. You might be able to get one account that will serve both of those purposes. The merchant account is the account to deposit the money in, and the processing gateway is what you send the numbers to and get a response back. There are a lot of different plans out there, so do some research and find one that is right for you. They charge various fees depending on what you want to do. You might also want to research the companies offering the services to make sure that they are reputable companies. You don't want to use someone who will steal your numbers or not pay you.
