Forum OpenACS Development: Response to ecommerce status?

Collapse
Posted by Janine Ohmer on
I don't know the porting status of the ecommerce module, but I
am curious about Authorize.net.  Do they provide all the same
actions as Cybercash?  I created a Tcl library which would
substitute for the Cybercash module to use a service with an
https interface, but abandoned it when I realized that "auth" with
success or failure is not enough.  Without the ability to query
status and do returns and voids, too much of the functionality of
the ecommerce module is lost.  This particular service allowed
me to get under the hood and talk directly to Cybercash, so that's
what I did.

However, if new Cybercash accounts will not be created we
*must* have an alternative to Verisign-borg, for matters of
principle if nothing else!  So the question is, who provides the
most complete API?
