Re: taking a one off payment

http://checkout.google.com -- Google's answer to PayPal. Best part is, they are taking NO FEES from now through 12/31/2007. So you can use them to receive credit card payments for just over a year for FREE. I've used it, and once account was setup, I was paid within 2-3 days. Best part is, you can, from inside the webpage, click "Send Invoice" and it will ask you for an email addy, and a description of what you are billing 'em for. You don't have to create a full shopping cart system!!! mark On Mon, 20 Nov 2006, Richard Lynch wrote:

Hi, What is the best way to take a one off payent (non-paypal).

cash in a stable currency ;-) Gold and Diamonds may also be worth considering. :-) Sorry. Now for some real suggestions: If you really really do mean a one-off payment, Paypal may be the simplest answer... If you mean many one-off payments, any of the shopping carts should work. You could also consider a MONEY ORDER or REGISTERED CHECK.

I have used oscommece but never attempted a one payment like a subscription charge.

Hmmmm. Now it sounds like you want a recurring charge. I dunno about oscommerce, but you should be able to set up a recurring charge with the back-end just by flipping a button somewhere -- The bank then hands you a "token" sort of deal which lets you cancel the subscription payments, but not do much more with it, so you needn't store the CC# to maintain state. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
