We haven't got beyond the test stage with Elavon because our client isn't ready to take it into production. I wasn't aware of the audit requirement - sounds like it could be a real PITA. We've implemented interfaces for over a dozen different services (Cashnet, PayPal, Authorize.net, etc etc) - very seldom have we had to go through any sort of vetting process. Generally, if you write to their specs, they are happy to accept your business.

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.
