Hi All,

I have a potential client who is interesting in having credit card processing as part of his application.

Has anyone gone through this process from scratch? I've seen a number of threads touching on various elements of accepting credit cards, but I would appreciate any advice on coordinating the whole process - finding an acquirer or merchant bank, finding the best software, and what is involved in integrating it into my app.

I've seen people recommend Signio as a solution provider. I checked out their website (which I guess is the Verisign website), and most of their products seemed geared towards web apps. What about if I create this as a client server app? Customers will be phoning in their credit card info, and there is no need for a website, so I may well go with client server.

But even if I find a software solution, what other steps do I need to take to have this client accept credit cards.

Thanks for you help.

David
