I'm just really starting this today. The gateway I will be using is plugnpay.com. They to have the ability to upload a deliminated file for processing. I will be looking into the possibility of using this in a streamlined fassion (though I don't know if streamlined is possible at the moment). I will create an editable form of un-captured sales (such as what you did), create the file and hopefully find some easy way of getting it to the gateway *in a secure fassion*... It would be nice to find a secure and streamlined means of using the file to avoid the multiple interaction etc.. from looping single transactions. Will let you know if I find anything.
