I wish I knew how to quote replies here. It became my job when told him he would receive a solution with cc processing and be up and running for such and such a price. Based on my competition, this is the way I find best if I want to keep getting work.

It's been about 5 years since I've done a credit card processing page, since most folks go with paypal anymore. If you can code properly, common sense goes along way to make your page and checkout tight.

But now I have to manage hardware? That would put me out of business, let alone the customer/merchant for the extra time involved. That'a a lot of work and logs and scaning, to still have a good chance of being hacked by some super geek hacker. Hosting companies need to provide some mid-level solution, or we're all going under with exception to the large companies that have the cash to play the game.

I can't go with a standard cart. That would be so cheesy and awkward with this particular app I'm working on. If I could embed the payment portion in my page, that would be about as low as I could go with this one.
