No way to accept credit/debit cards on site (without redirect or iframe)


Recommended Posts

So far Prestashop has impressed me, however I have come to setting up the payment options and cannot believe that there isn't a way to accept cards without the customer leaving the site.

We use Sagepay direct on another site we have, and Paypal WPP on another site. I though, from looking in the back office of Prestashop that this worked with Paypal WPP (keeping the buyer on site) but alas I am wrong.

Also, after a lot of searching, no-one, especially Prestashop themselves, have developed a module to enable this....Why would Prestashop not do this.

I know that most website visitors will not complete checkout, if they have to leave the site to complete payment.

Prestashop is completely unusable without this option and I would advise any serious online business to avoid using Prestashop until this is resolved.

I would not say that PS is unusable but indeed would like to have a hidden payment option for CCs as well. What is btw the WPP option you mention above?

WPP= Website Payments Pro, a service/account offerd by Paypal in the UK.

Almost all online users will not complete a transaction if they have to leave the site to make payment. So if you have a conversion rate of 1% currently, I would expect that to rise to 3%/4% with a fully integrated payment solution.

if you look at the dynamics on teh back office for accepting credit card payments, most people really dont mind going off site, as it is usually set in the code to redirect them back to the store, Ebay for example, does not keep the customer onsite, you are taken right to paypal, in that case, there are millions of people that use ebay to buy and are not worried on leaving the ebay site to close the transaction.

presta shop is actually the most user friendly ecommerce out there, also with the CC being linked to an outside source, the security is better streamlined, for one, I would be hesitant in buying from a company that has a CC method with out leaving the store or website, unless they have merchant details, anyone can copy and paste a verisign logo and poof, with the method of having the customer directed to a reputable CC option like HiPay, then they will be rest assured that there is no CC numbers being stored for possible use in a manner that could be questionable.

I rather have the customer be directed to a third party so they are guaranteed security and privacy,,,and again, i state i would be hesitant on a company that does not have that feature...

I am unware but if your located un the UK, your stats in most users will not complete a transaction if they have to leave the site, that statisic is not accurate, i have been in researching ecommerce once it has hit the net, and if you look at how many ecommerce is fully integrated with payment, it is usually those companies that are brand named ; apple, IBM, any company that has there own finance department.

Ebay does not have a integration system and those buying off ebay have to leave the site to paypal, yet ebay has thousands of people buying every day that i think is a majority of online users, yet ebay has been propelled to one of the largest online auction interfaces today.

In closing when you set the account for ebay, anything related to payments or cc, or bank they state you must have a paypal account,,, that in essence is leaving the site.

agreed, however with my knowledge not onlyin ecommerce but other areas that deal with paypal, there is a small percentage that refuse to deal with paypal based on the fact that, individuals have up to 60 days to request a refund, they get it then although they may receive such product then the processes of proving the items was sent,,,, yes opens a can of worms,,,,,on verification stuff was sent,,,,but again, it is a matter of choice, and truly i see no difference in percentage on online buyers, going off site...but we all have good points, i guess the north american market is different then in the UK i for one do not know.. however this is only based on my observation, since the beggining of the ecommerce age....

I really just wish that the development team would just include the Paypal website payments pro mod. It should be an important part of any e-commerce cart. I have several zencart sites that run with it and it works great. I can manage all orders and refunds all in the back office of the cart. Main reason to have this is so the customer doesn't have to leave my site to pay. More Clicks= Less Sales. As, far as Ebay taking payments via Paypal, thats because Ebay ownes Paypal or vise versa. At least in the US it is more professional to have payments on site and verifications (with live links) to verify the security.

^^agreed.. Prestashop's only downside, and I dont understand why they arent figuring it out.. Name - Address - Card Number = Done. So standard, anything more complicated just looks out-of-date. Even all the fields on the new "one-page checkout" just to be forwarded anyways? thats not one-page. It may sound silly, given the petty extra 30seconds it takes, but the facts are there.. Oh Presta, sigh :(

The one to use for the UK would be sagepay server method module which has the customers staying on your site but the payment pages are hosted by sagepay, we use this and I would say this is the most cost effective way of taking card payments, the module can be found here http://www.presto-changeo.com/payment-modules/32-sagepay-payment.html

hope this helps,

Mark.

The server method is a good option to use we have had it since last May and we don't store the card details so you don't need to go through the strict PCI compliance check, we have just done the questionaire one which covers us, we used the offline card credit module before and then processed them through Paypal which was alot of work, but with sagepay and HSBC our fees have almost halved.

Regards,

Mark.

I can't believe that an 'offline credit card module' is not part of the core of Prestashop either!

If you have a medium to large size business and want to process you own transactions though a card terminal, avoiding third party payment processors - you currently have to rely on third party offerings that are frequently lagging behind Prestashop's current version.

Why have'nt Prestashop's development team thought that this was essential fo any mainstream e-commerce solution?

I know, it's crazy. You'd think the PS team would have developed a mod for this alone. It would make a lot of money.

I bought Dave Sniper's mod for this and would love to say it went smoothly, but after waiting for days for a copy of it, and then getting one with a bad license, I am not so happy.

I hope they respond with a correct version for me so I can report that it went well finally.
