    Default WebService module (or E-xact module)

    Trying to redo my online store because the company that's currently doing it for us is charging nearly $200 a month for their modified open source eCommerce software.

    Does anyone know how to configure the E-xact payment gateway with osCMax? They use a thing called WebService.

    Their tech support was being an ass, and she wouldn't tell me where to begin, and that everything is up to my programming abilities... what kind of tech support is that? She just told me to refer to the manuals.

    Thanks if anyone can help.

    David

    All banks are like that. They make more money off of fraud anyway, so who cares about we legitimate businesses

    This should work with osCMax and e-xact

    Thanks Michael! I should learn how to search better (I'm not a member of the osCommerce forum though).

    Thanks for posting the link, but E-xact informed me that the old modules for E-xact used FormPost or PostForm, and they have switched over to a thing called WebService recently (I think the mod on osCommerce is from 2004 and the tech support said that there haven't been any mods for WebService - yet). My friends confirmed that, and are willing to give me help if I need it since they've worked with E-Xact on their on online stores.

    I'll still have a quick look at this and see if it matches the documentation though!

    You could "MOVE" your existing osCommerce based system (and thus the payment mod as well) to another host...

    Unless they have a hook in the payment mod to use your host own service.

    osCommerce is GPL (same as osCMax)- which the just of it is - you have to be supplied the raw code (appon request) at no charge. Since PHP is raw code anyway - no need to ask. You can make any number of copies and modify it anyway you wish. BUT if you distributed it or "sell" it (ie service and installation etc) - you have to comply with GPL.

    $200 /month is allot - I spend less than 1/2 of that per year! At $200 per month you could have a dedicated server (which also begs the question - how busy is your site and did you need a dedicated server?).

    Well I don't really have access to the osCommerce based system (which I think.. though the admin side looks awfully similar to their software). I also don't have access to the FTPs so I can't just take the code - as everything uploaded is just through their system.

    Honestly, the store is not busy at all, and thats why we're trying to reduce the costs. I know we can lower it down to like $15 or so a month when we find a host. No dedicated server was needed.

    I'll see if I can ask for the E-xact module, I don't want the rest of the site, the new site we've created looks way better and has the exact functionality that we need (after a few more mods are done ).

    $ 15 a month - I can cut that in less that half and still have change left over.

    Yes the admin iterface would be very simular and you can down load the payment files though the admin interface if need be. Atleast download your DB and and your custom graphics/pics etc...

    Okaay we're still working on this payment gateway thing. Basically their "NEW" payment gateway uses SOAP and allows us access to their verification function. We can grab the information, but we're having a hard time trying to figure out how to get that information after pressing the "CONFIRM" button on the 3rd step of checkout.

    Right now, we get the can send and receive info before they even press confirm.

    What we need to do is when the user presses that confirm button, it calls a function that contains the SOAP Client call in and access E-Xact's servers, and then it sends us information. If it has no fault or error then proceed onto the Success page, if not.. then.. tell user there is an error.

    Anyone have any ideas or does anyone know of any other payment gateways using SOAP calls.
