credit card authorization webservice

[dky1e]

Hi,

I was just wondering if there are any credit card validation, authorization service out there? The best thing would be a secure webservice that would allow me to verify the credit card (number, available funds, etc...) Please let me know of your experience, quality, security and reliability of the service.

Thanks.

I think it'd be a great idea if there were one, but I don't expect one for a while. The financial sector always seems to be the last one to use new technologies.

Authorize.net has an API you can use. I utilize a secure connection through CURL w/ SSL and PHP for my credit card transactions, but you can also use it in a desktop app. Its called the Advanced Integration Method (AIM). We signed up with one of their resellers, US Merchant System, and it has been going great. I believe the initial startup fee is $200, along with the monthly fees that go along with transactions and whatnot. Good luck!

hi,

I think you need to rely on 3'rd party .NET dlls which are network based. currently .net doesn't have a native work done on that ...
so as it was said earlier there are .NET assemblies DLLs available which athenticates the credit card over the net.
