You can do it either way, but I would strongly use vfp code because it is much more secure. I used WW http class and it really was not that hard. I think it took me about a one half to do this. Elavon will give you a test user and password to work develop and test with. Elavon requires one of their group to audit your shopping cart before you can start processing real cards. I had some real problems with this step simply because the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.


Stein,

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping someone had done this. I would prefer to use their Virtual Merchant since it bypasses most of the PCI DSS b.s.

I do have some more questions if I may. When you use the Virtual Merchant, do you call their site from the Westwind/html page or from Foxpro code? I know so little about "programming" in html that I assumed I would have to make the call from Foxpro so I could handle the response. Would you be willing to share a code sample of what you did?

Thanks,

Potter


I recently worked on a module to interface our Westwind app with Elavon for one of our customers. Seemed to work OK in test mode but still waiting for the customer to load it in production.

I used their Virtual Merchant product which seemed to be reasonably easy to work with. The Developer Guide is dated 2010 so it may be that they've revised their earlier versions. The results are returned in either a Post buffer or querystring - can't recall which, but it's standard HTTP so I could just use Request.Params() to parse the returned values.

Has anyone used Elavon for processing credit cards through Westwind? Client's bank wants it done through them.

Thanks,

Potter
