Hi
I'm designing an online booking web site for a car rental company. Would you recommend WorldPay to handle the credit cards or is there a much better option.

Thanks
 
I've used EziMerchant and it's pretty good. They give you all of the JavaScript source.

I'd recommend WorldPay.
I've integrated it into a site using ASP and just pass a few variables across to their secure server and off you go. You have tools to customise the payment pages and you can specify a 'thanks' page to return the buyer back to your site.

Ya thats sounds like what i need to do.

If i'm using session variables, will they still work when worldpay directs the customer back to my thank you page?

Thanks
 
Sessions won't work across 2 domains (secure or not) so if need to maintain state you will need write a cookie before leaving your site.

One thing to watch with Worldpay is their refunds policy.

I have a few clients that use them and 1 got hit with a £100 charge for refunding 2 payments because Worldpay put a caution alert on the payment.

He eventually got put onto a pre-auth system with them where he has 5 days to accept a payment, otherwise it is not applied to the customers account. This was works much better for him.

Hope this helps

So if cookies arent supported then i'd have to do without.
Do many people disable cookies?

thanks for your help.

 
Most shopping carts need cookies enabled to work anyway. Sessions need cookies enabled to work, as a temporary cookie is written to the browser with the session id.
A lot of it will depend on the shopping cart (if any) you use

I would think that many of the people who have cookies disabled probably won't buy on the Internet anyway.

That makes definitely makes sense.

Ok thanks everyone!
