In their examples of how to do this they tell me to use one of the following languages: C++ C# COM Object technology (allows you to develop in Visual Basic, VBScript, or ASP) PHP PERL® JavaTM Macromedia® ColdFusion® .NET They recieve their data and their API software converts it to XML. I have written them an Email and got more confusing results. Basically my question is, how do i create this link, the only language i know is HTML. I have tried learning the others through online tutorials, and i cannot understand where the coding goes and how the info submitted on my order form gets to one of these "web applications" am i completely lost or am i on the right track. Any help, would be greatfully appreciated. :confused: :confused:"

I wouldn't even try to make my own payment system and have been programming for years, just one small mistake could cost you a lot of sales. There are plenty of cheap (and free) systems out there, eg agora shopping cart. But maybe something like [URL=http://www.2checkout.com/]2CheckOut[/URL] would be better for you, they make it pretty easy, and it's not too expensive."

If you can't integrate your gateway with X-Cart, you can check with any of Authorize.net's many vendors. I used the X-Cart/Authorize.net solution on a websites that does several hundred orders per month, with no issues. You can also integrate PayPal into X-Cart with a check mark."
