[asterisk-biz] Responding to Number 4

Hi Mitul;

How many domestic minutes do you have?

I assume that this will be a SIP hand-off.

Thanks,

No, I'm missing something - people to handle the calls. I don't have the 
capacity to answer the calls the take the card numbers.

This is exactly what I mean.    I have used similar logic when doing my
conversions.   Interesting to hear how others perform their their
conversions.

Why can't they key in their credit card number, expiration date and CVS 
number through the phone?   What you're looking to do isn't at all 
complicated... you'll need a merchant account with a bank that exposes 
some sort of API, an Asterisk machine and some development time.

This is a segue, but can anyone recomend 2-3 providers of merchant accounts
and apis? I've heard nightmarish stories of what being tied to a single cc
processor that decides to stop liking you for some reason....

Authorize.net is the de facto standard is CC processing. I use them with RBS
Lynk as my actaul merchant account, and auth,net as my gateway, it works
with a HTTPS POST, very easy to setup.

http://authorize.net
and
http://rbslynk.com

RBS is the biggest CC processor in the US, and its the cheapest as well..

May want to see if PayPal Website Payment Pros will work to, as there is no
setup fee.

Hope this helps
Ron
