Protx integration
 

When you use a payment gateway, the cards you can accept are determined by your merchant account and not by X-Cart.
For practical use in the UK it is essentila to use a payment gateway due to the fact you mentioned about Switch, Solo and other debit cards.

Basically, when using X-Cart to take the credit card details it is all done by the cart software, but when using a payment gateway, the card detail entry page is on the payment gateway's server and has nothing to do with X-Cart other than passing information back to the cart to let it know whether the transaction was successfull or not.

PS
protx have just today started a new service which allows you to see the batch processing reports which are sent to your merchant account each day, this allows you to easily reconcile your settlement figures on your bank statements (and see how much is going into your bank account).
Much better for cash flow forecasting.

Re: Protx integration
 

Thanks teejay, exactly the info I needed! :) Protx it is then for my next project!

Please tell me, what is Protx?

ProTX is a payment gateway that was set up by people who used to work with Worldpay if im not mistaken.

I think that they only deal with UK clients too

Which version of protex does x-cart interface with? There are server based versions aswell as form based versions?

Thanks

Angelo

Works with VSP Form and very nice it is aswell. :D

Splendid, that's what I like to hear!

Protx
 

I think you will need Protex VSP Form. I user Protx Server for other carts but personally prefer Form. Server had problems with refunds, but I have so fare found no problems with Form.
