How can i transfer data to gateway

help?

[seen]

Hello
I've set up a online sale website based on PHP. My partner wrote a shopping cart progrem. But we don't know how to write the code to transfer the credit card information to the gateway. Is anybody here has similar experience?

Thank you

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Each gateway typically has the documentation you'll need - possibly some APIs - that you can use to build/implement the data exchange.

Lorax is right. LinkPoint will provide a free test store to test / connect to their gateway. If you are thinking of using Chase, Cardservice, First Data, PNC, or Wells, LinkPoint would be the gateway there since they all use the same gateway.

It all depends on where you are and everything since the merchant account is based on that. You might check out the contributions for osCommerce. They have some connection information there for certain gateways. And check on the gateway's specific websites as well for information

Thank you for your help.
As a new comer, please recommand some gateways to me. We want to deal business basically around Hong Kong.

Being in Hong Kong might be a bit difficult to get a merchant account / gateway, but you might take a look at WorldPay and 2CO

Contact the gateway company and ask for a PHP example. Most have examples in ASP and PHP. Usually you can either expose the data using an HTML form with hidden fields, or a better method is to send it via XML -- that way the data is never exposed.
