This Updated Wale Oki Webstore
includes Integration of authentication to enable pre-registration at any
stage; Credit Card Validation & Interface to WorldPay Real-time Credit
Card Clearing. Downloadable software sales; B2B features e.g. Pricing
and Product Search Page per user, and many other features. Essentially a
heavily modified WebStore. Very good.
Secure Server Workaround
for
Webstore - One of the biggest problems with the Web Store script
is that when
attempting to use it with a secure server according to the
documentation,
it only goes into secure mode when the user hits "submit" on the
form
that includes their credit card information. While this is
technically
secure, most users expect to see the secure icon on their web
browser
when the form is displayed. in this document, outlines a
solution.
Hooking
WebStore up to AuthorizeNet -
Authorize.net
is one of the world's leading payment authorization
services for online business. Authorize.Net
offers a server-based transaction processing system
that enables businesses to authorize, process, and
manage credit card and electronic check transactions
in a real-time, online environment from any
computer with an Internet connection and a
Web browser. Here is Robert Hughes'
well done hack that hooks WebStore up Authorizenet.
Connecting Web Store to the
Card Service International Payment Gateway -
CardService Int.
is one of the world's leading payment authorization.
Cardservice International is a technology-driven,
customer-focused independent provider of merchant
credit card, ATM/debit card and check guarantee
services, and offers secure transport of financial
transactions for businesses in both the physical
and Internet worlds. This hack, writen by Sean Duffy,
allows a WebStore to hook up to the Card Service
International Payment Gateway.
WebStore/Cybercash
Integration -
put together some fantastic documentation
on hooking WebStore up to CyberCash.
Cybercash
is a pioneer of the major electronic commerce payment
advances on the Internet. They have a wide range of
products and services, CyberCash is unique in enabling
merchants around the globe to accept multiple forms
of payment around-the-clock including Secure Payment/SET
and PayNow electronic check.
Credit Card Validation -
sent in this extremely useful credit card validation
library. The purpose of the library is twofold.
First, it catches credit card information typographical
errors. Second, it prevents someone from just "making
up" credit card information (i.e. credit card number).
However, just because a credit card successfully passes
all the checks in this routine, (obviously) does NOT
mean that there are funds available on the card, NOR
does it mean that the person who is submitting the
card information is the actual owner of the card.
This routine simply verifies that: 1. the card is a
valid type (VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS,
DISCOVER), 2. the number is a possible valid credit
card number, and 3. the card has not expired.
Doug Monroe sent in a similar
hack.

a Y2K error. Redownload this new version if
you are experiencing Y2K problems.
Shipping Module for
WebStore with UPS and UPSPriority Integration -
UPS is one
of the world's leading shipper of goods. Many
WebStores use UPS to ship products which have
been sold on the website. This is another excellent
rad hack from Gheorghe Chesler, that allows you to
more easily integrate with UPS shipping! A
related hack comes
from David Boring. Further, you can read
the UPS Shipping
Algorithm FAQ provided by Etal Soames.
PGP and WebStore on
Windows -
PGP
is probably the best way to ensure that private
client data that has been sent over a secure https
stream will remain private as it is emailed to
a store administrator. PGP allows you to easily
encrypt mail from WebStore. In this clear and
complete set of documentation, Peter Gillett
explains the process he went through in migrating
WebStore with PGP from Apache/UNIX to IIS/Windows.
As you might imagine, the hack is as useful for
its discussion of Windows issues as well as PGP issues.
