texte = If you are not certain of how many transactions you are going to get and do not want to buy a ssl cert then why not use someone like 2checkout (http://www.2checkout.com).You are able to use there SSL, add a Header and Footer html file so that you can brand your checkout page, specify a return landing page top process the order in any system you have, etc. They take a higher percentage of the sell, but there is no monthly charge and you do not need to buy a ssl cert. This is an easy way to test the credit card paying world with out the hassle of setting up SSL, obtaining a merchant account, and setting up a gateway.Just food for thought, Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: James D.
