Ok when you pass the "Amount" variable to the versign page (or other similar services) the customer can enter his other details and proceed with the payment...

How can my own page get informed that the process has been finished succesfully and the amount has been deducted from my customer's credit card?

I mean ok I passed the variables to the payment gateway, but before I ship the products I need to know that everything is ok....

Thanks for your reply in advance.

    With socket based transaction processing, you'd send a response to the gateway with the user's payment info and then wait for a response back if the payment was accepted successfully.

    If you're doing this web based, as in you have a pay link and it takes the user to a 3rd party web page, then you need to find out from that 3rd party how to capture the response (in some cases, it may not be possible).

      Thanks AstroTag

      I have sent an email to verisign but iIt seems that they don't want to reply.

      Anyone there knows something for sure?

        I haven't worked with Verisign (too expensive, in my opinion). I've done payment gateways to authorize.net, WorldPay, Planet Payment, and a handful of others. I guess PayPal counts too. What exactly is the service you are going for? Socket based or link based? Have you read Verisign's docs to figure out how they work (look specifically for developer API docs).

          Verisign PayFlow Link is the service i use (and highly recommend). In the Versign Manager you can set your own custom URL to return POST data to for payment confirmation. It basically returns bunch of data (much of it you can configure) and a result code that indicates whether or not the payment went through. You can easily write a PHP script to recieve this data and update your database accordingly.

            Thanks AstroTeg

            It's for sure link base.

            I don't mind going with another service like e.g Paypal or others.

            I just need something like a variable passed to my page to inform me that the transaction has been successful.

              So it is possible to do this!! Cool.

              This is what I m interested in most. But it is true the service s a bit more expensive than others
