X-Cart and CCBill? Help?

[RiotRacer]

Does anyone know if it is possible to integrate CCBill and X-cart?

I want my members to automatically be in the X-cart database.

Upon a successful join, CCBill can call a script and send whatever data you ask for (minus card numbers, etc) to a postback script anywhere you want. You should be able to write a little postback script that will take the join data and add it to your X-cart database.

Alternatively, you can collect the data (again, minus the credit card info) before sending the surfer to the CCBill join form, and use a little script to write it to the x-cart database, then pass the data to the CCBill join form (so they don't have to re-enter it) where the surfer will enter their card number and expiration info, etc.

If you do it the 1st way, you'll get only members who actually succeeded in joining. If you do it the 2nd way, you'll also get the declines. Depending on what you're doing, each method has its advantages.

Are you selling products through X-cart?

Yes, you can use Epoche, CCbill, or any other billing company that supports background posts. Then you can change some code on X-Cart, VantageCart, or OS Commerce (anything you have some access to source code).

There could be one limiting fact.. CCbill can only do "membership" amounts so you have to create an account for ... say... $1, $5, $10, $15 ... you can't have the shopping cart send just any dollar amount but it has to match what is in the system.

Epoche is more or less the same.

We ran into that when doing the integration for moviequickie.com (they use Paycom/Epoche) and also thinkmen.com (they use ccbill.com).

But we have also done off the shelf shopping cart integration and know it can be done.

Not to hard and the billing company may be able to give you direction on how it works and what variabled need to be passed. Or..they may now have an API.

If you are selling "real" products you would be better served using an adult merchant account and pay 5% or less... as CCbill/Epoche and others can change 12% - 15% based on the volume.

If you need an adult merchant account contact me and I'll give you what we use for boysinc.com.

Hi,

There are NETbilling X-cart modules already built and we can setup processing for you for product sales at less than 3% and slightly more for adult memberships. Let me know if you are interested.

Thank you, Mitch Farber

NetBilling may be perfect.

Just check out (unless Mitch wants to post the amount)

1. Monthly minimum or fees
2. Per item cost
3. Gateway costs (and per items extra)
4. Chargeback fees
5. Setup fees

We worked with a few websites that NetBilling was the best choice, others that CCbill or Epoche, and some that went for a direct billing solution (your own merchant account).

It all depends on volume, risk, and products.

But at least they have a module for X-Cart.
You can do the same with just about any other provider and we can help out if you need.

Hi,

FYI, all of our merchant have their own merchant account. We do not do any third party processing. Fees vary on the merchant accounts because we work with several banks depending on the needs and volume of the merchant in question.

Thank you, Mitch Farber
