I'm just an engineer, not a lawyer, but I've been told it is illegal (notjust a bank's rule) to charge the credit card before it is actually readyto ship. (Mail order companies should be well versed in this law). If theinventory is in stock, or delivered over the web, I can see how thecustomers might not notice anything amiss on their credit card statements. But this customer's store is modelled after Amazon's, where some items inless demand have longer lead times (up to a week or two) to get in stock. Customers might notice the difference between charge and ship dates.I talked to MacAuthorize people who said it is possible to set upMacAuthorize to only authorize the transaction. Can WebMerchant handlethis condition? What happens to the authorization # once an order isapproved? Is it located anywhere in WebCatalog accessible areas?I'll be getting the MacAuthorize manuals later this week and will thenbetter understand the situation.The salesperson there tried to talk me into getting the multi-user version,saying the single user version had to be attended to when dialing-up. Am Icorrect to presume that WebMerchant handles this attending and the singleuser version will suffice?Thanks for the response. I'm sure there're other WebCatalog users alsointerested in this two stage authorization procedure for items notimmediately shipped.Sandy
