merchant account

Hi,

I have hooked up one of my shoping cart website to Paypal using PHP. It took me a week to make it work properly. PayPal tells you what variables you need to send. And when respose comes back from Paypal at the completion of the transcation, they tell you what variabless you are geting back and also provide the code as how to parse the response.

I wondering when you use merchant account, how complicated it is programatically?. Do they guide you suffiently as to what programmer needs to do, or is it too compliacted.

Thanks

It is not that complicated. Most payment gateways will provide you with the coding and actually most shopping carts already come with the ability to be connected to the major electronic payment gateways.
